Famous perfectionist Honore de Balzac labored for years to bring the fascinating idea behind The Magic Skin to life in a novel, and critics and fans alike agree that it is one of the French writer's masterworks. The story follows the experiences of a young man who finds a small piece of animal skin that magically fulfills his every desire. However, over time, he discovers that the seeming miracle has exacted a terrible toll on his body -- and his soul.

Excerpt from The Magic Skin Volumes, * almost libraries, have been written about Balzac; and perhaps of very few writers, putting aside the three or four greatest of all, is it so difficult to select one or a few short phrases which will in any way denote them, much more sum them up. Yet the five words quoted above, which come from an early letter to his sister when as yet he had not found his way, characterize him, I think, better than at least some of the volumes I have read about him, and supply, when they are properly understood, the most valuable of all keys and companions for his comprehension.

Honoré de Balzac is considered the founder of Realism in modern literature. His magnum opus, La Comédie Humaine, consists of 95 novels, novellas, and short stories that seek to portray French society of his time. The Magic Skin, which is part of La Comédie Humaine, tells the story of young Raphael, who receives a piece of wild ass's skin from an old antique dealer. The skin grants Raphael's wishes, but also shortens his life. With the talisman in his possession, the protagonist fulfills all his desires, becomes wealthy, and a respected figure in society, all while living in terror as he watches the skin shrink and his life ebb away with each fulfilled wish. Like numerous other works by Balzac, The Magic Skin is a critique of a society focused solely on the accumulation of material goods and power.
