Honore de Balzac is the full name of a French author who wrote a series of novels entitled “The Human Comedy.” This literary work consists of a hundred short stories and novels written by Balzac during the early 19th century. They are compiled into different sections. The titles of these sections are: Scenes from private life, Scenes from Provincial life, Scenes from Parisian life, Scenes from Political Life, Scenes from military life, scenes from Country Life, and Philosophical Studies. Balzac wrote these stories because he wanted to study and examine every day life via the lives of individuals in different levels of Parisian society.
These novels were published between the years 1825-1848. Due to the large number of novels and short stories contained in the “Human Comedy” there is a large quantity of information. The information is very scattered and it is difficult to find clear and precise information regarding the human comedy, its different parts and characters, its history and importance for the 19th century all in one concise location.
