Fiction could be, has been defined as imaginary biography. Biography in its latest form could be defined as imaginary fiction. Into this definition fits the work of Andre Maurois, of his followers like Author Benjamin. They believe in making truth seem real by giving it the guise of fiction. Holding to an authentic outline, their method is to present what did happen as what might have happened, as part of the story.

    Sphere.Inline.search('sphereSideBar','http://time.com/') tiiQuigoWriteAd(755769, 1290761, 180, 200, -1); Balzac was a cross between a babbitt and a stroke of lightning. Above his pudgy face, lighted by a bulbous nose, his brain was a melting pot for furious fancies. It fumed with a thousand energetic inspirations which varied from running a printing press to writing the Comedie Humaine. Everything he did was characterized by a gigantic and exaggerated gusto. At dinner with George Sand "three bottles had been emptied. He pointed to them: 'We are not drinking!' After they had consumed six dozen oysters, he pointed to the shells: 'What's wrong with you all tonight? Does nobody feel hungry?' "Careening through life with the impetus of a cannon ball, Balzac dashed into love affairs at every turn. His first two mistresses were twice his age. People of all sorts, from grocery clerks to emperors, fired his imagination to write about them. In the meantime, he loved carriages, good wine, sleek clothes, expensive food. He ran up debts of 150,000 francs and trying to extricate himself by scatter-brained schemes, increased them. His economic principle was that spending more money means the necessity for earning more money, and as his only sure way of earning more money was to write more books, this principle accounts for the existence of many a Balzac masterpiece.

In 1816 he began studying law at the Sorbonne, but after receiving his license in 1819 he decided to abandon law for literature. Throughout his life he worked with feverish activity. He was ridden with debts, which were increased rather than relieved by his business ventures. The novelist would lock himself away during creative bursts, drinking coffee and eating only fruit and eggs. When he finally took a break, he was known to consume huge quantities of food.
One report recalls that at the Véry restaurant he consumed at one sitting "a hundred Ostend oysters, twelve cutlets of salt-meadow mutton, a duck with turnips, two partridges and a Normandy sole," not to mention the desserts, fruit and liqueurs he finished up with. When eating a business lunch, it's important to know who's paying. Even then, the question of what to eat is fraught. Order the lobster on someone else's expense account and you look grasping. (Can they afford it? Will it scupper the deal?) But order a side salad with tap water and you look like a wimp.

His magnum opus was a sequence of almost 100 novels and plays collectively entitled La Com©die humaine , which presents a panorama of French life in the years after the fall of Napol©on Bonaparte in 1815. Due 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 authors, including the novelists Marcel Proust ‰mile Zola Charles Dickens Gustave Flaubert ... Henry James and Jack Kerouac , as well as important philosophers such as Friedrich Engels . Many of Balzac's works have been made into films, and they continue to inspire other writers.

French journalist and writer, one of the creators of realism in literature. Balzac's huge production of novels and short stories are collected under the name , which originated from Dante 's The Divine Comedy . Before his breakthrough as an author, Balzac wrote without success several plays and novels under different pseudonyms. Despite prolific output, Balzac lived in debt. "...Well, Balzac was politically a legitimist; his great work is a constant elegy on the irreparable decay of good society; his sympathies are with the class that is doomed to extinction. But for all that, his satire is never keener, his irony never more bitter, than when he sets in motion the very men and women with whom he sympathizes most deeply - the nobles..." (Friedrich Engels in 1888) E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776-1822). Balzac's first work was CROMWELL. The tragedy in verse made the whole family dispirited. By 1822 Balzac had produced several novels under pseudonyms, but he was ignored as a writer. Against his family's hopes, Balzac continued his career in literature, believing that the simplest road to success was writing. Unfortunately, he also tried his skills in business. Balzac ran a publishing company and he bought a printing house, which did not have much to print. When these commercial activities failed, Balzac was left with a heavy burden of debt. It plagued him to the end of his career. "All happiness depends on courage and work," Balzac once said. "I have had many periods of wretchedness, but with energy and above all with illusions, I pulled through them all."

54. Biographies: The Classical Fiction Writers: Honoré De Balzac (1799-1850).
Honoré de balzac (17991850). Said to be the greatest of French novelists, balzac, trained as a lawyer, was a great judge of human nature.
http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/Literary/Balzac.htm

Said to be the greatest of French novelists, Balzac, trained as a lawyer, was a great judge of human nature. As a young man "he steeped himself in Scott's novels." "Balzac may be justly compared with Dickens for humour, but Dickens was broader in caricature; with Thackeray for satire, but Thackeray was keener; with Meredith for analysis, but Meredith was more subtle; with Poe for imagination, but Poe was more fantastic; with Swift for cynicism, but Swift was more caustic; with Defoe for realistic narrative, but Defoe surpassed him in verisimilitude; with Scott for vivid description of nature and of men, but Scott was his master as well as his model." Balzac was a writer who was obliged to produce for a living, and, thus, he wrote many books (he wrote 92 novels); if you have room for two on your shelf, then, in addition to an anthology of his short stories, I would recomend Balzac's Pere Goriot (1834) and his Cousin Bette (1846), "The Limburger cheese of literature."
Balzac's Beliefs
Family
"The viaticum of married life is resignation and self-sacrifice; the bonds of habit, he [Balzac] says, are better than love any day, while society substitutes a lasting sentiment for the mere passing frenzy of nature and creates the family as the foundation of all organized society. In short, in marriage the woman inspires, and the man must do the work, the woman must sacrifice her will, the man his selfishness."
Aristocracy
He [Balzac] believed in a constitutional monarchy and an aristocracy of the feudal type; aristocracy, he said, was the intellect of the social system. He wrote a pamphlet in favor of primogeniture, and he did not believe in 'the rights of man,' human equality, or the ability of the masses of the people to govern themselves. One man should have the power to make laws."

All of these naturally are anxious to be "established clerks." And thus Bureaucracy, the giant power wielded by pigmies, came into the world. Possibly Napoleon retarded its influence for a time, for all things and all men were forced to bend to his will; but none tlie less the heavy curtain of Bureaucracy was drawn between the right thing to be done and the right man to do it. Bureaucracy was definitely organized, however, under a constitutional government with a natural kindness for mediocrity, a predilection for categorical statements and reports, a government as fussy and meddlesome, in short, as a small shopkeeper's wife.

Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850)
Biographical note
Nineteenth-century French novelist, one of the creators of Realism in literature. His Human Comedy (La Comédie humaine), spanning more than 90 novels and short stories, is a broad, often satirical panorama of French society, particularly the petite bourgeoisie, in the years after the fall of Napoléon Bonaparte. Along with Gustave Flaubert (whose work he influenced), Balzac is generally regarded as a founding father of realism in European literature. Balzac's novels, most of which are farcical comedies, feature a large cast of well-defined characters, and descriptions in exquisite detail of the scene of action.

Honoré de Balzac et la Comédie Humaine
accueil le projet romans thèmes ... lieux Ne se décourageant pas, il continue à écrire diverses oeuvres sous divers pseudonymes. Ces dernières ne lui rapporteront pas grand chose au niveau pécuniaire, mais vont contribuer à sa formation littéraire. En 1825, il achète une imprimerie mais fait rapidement faillite et, couvert de dettes, se tourne de nouveau vers le roman. Des ses premiers succès, il est introduit dans les salons aristocratiques et littéraires notamment dans celui de Mme Récamier. C'est le début d'une vie riche en épisodes amoureux, où voyages et dépenses fastueuses riment avec les créanciers. Il est obligé de travailler comme un forcené et d'entreprendre des aventures financières ruineuses comme, par exemple, la remise en exploitation, en Sardaigne, d'antiques mines d'argent. Grand précurseur, membre de la Société des gens de lettres dès sa création (1838), il contribue à instaurer la protection du droit d'auteur. Il donne naissance aussi au roman-feuilleton, dont La Vieille Fille (1837) constitue le premier exemple paru dans les journaux. Doué d'une puissance de travail peu commune, Balzac usera cependant peu à peu sa santé et son énergie et mourra à cinquante et un ans, quelques mois seulement après avoir épousé Mme Hanska, une comtesse polonaise avec qui il entretint pendant seize ans une correspondance admirable (Lettres à Mme Hanska, 1832-1848, publiées en 1968).
