Honoré de Balzac 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".
Eugénie Grandet Eugénie Grandet is an 1833 novel by French author Honoré de Balzac, about miserliness and how it is bequeathed from the father to the daughter, Eugénie, through her unsatisfying love attachment with her cousin. As is usual with Balzac, all the characters in the novel are fully realized. Balzac conceived his ambitious project, "The Human Comedy", while writing "Eugénie Grandet" and incorporated it into the "Comédie" by revising the names of some of the characters in the second edition, which he also dedicated to Maria Du Fresnay, his then-lover and mother of his daughter Marie-Caroline Du Fresnay, and, as was proved later on, the "real" Eugénie Grandet.
