Honoré de Balzac; born Honoré Balzac 20 May 1799 - 18 August 1850) was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, which presents a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus. Owing to his keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society, Balzac is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature. He is renowned for his multi-faceted characters; even his lesser characters are complex, morally ambiguous and fully human. Inanimate objects are imbued with character as well; the city of Paris, a backdrop for much of his writing, takes on many human qualities. His writing influenced many famous writers, including the novelists Émile Zola, Charles Dickens, Marcel Proust, Gustave Flaubert, and Henry James, and filmmakers François Truffaut and Jacques Rivette.

Now Asie, not without taking such precautions as usual in such cases, went off to report to Carlos the conference she had held with the Baron, and all the profit she had made by it. The man's rage, like himself, was terrible; he came forthwith to Esther, in a carriage with the blinds drawn, driving into the courtyard. Still almost white with fury, the double-dyed forger went straight into the poor girl's room; she looked at him--she was standing up--and she dropped on to a chair as though her legs had snapped. "What is the matter, monsieur?" said she, quaking in every limb. "Leave us, Europe," said he to the maid. Esther looked at the woman as a child might look at its mother, from whom some assassin had snatched it to murder it. "Do you know where you will send Lucien?" Carlos went on when he was alone with Esther. "Where?" asked she in a low voice, venturing to glance at her executioner. "Where I come from, my beauty." Esther, as she looked at the man, saw red. "To the hulks," he added in an undertone. Esther shut her eyes and stretched herself out, her arms dropped, and she turned white. The man rang, and Prudence appeared. ' "Bring her round," he said coldly; "I have not done." He walked up and down the drawing-room while waiting. Prudence-Europe was obliged to come and beg monsieur to lift Esther on to the bed; he carried her with an ease that betrayed athletic strength. They had to procure all the...
