Honoré de Balzac is a French writer, one of the founders of realism in European literature.
Honore de Balzac was born on May 20, 1799 in Tours in the family of a peasant from Languedoc, Bernard François Balsa. Balzac's father became rich buying and selling confiscated noble lands during the revolution, and later became an assistant to the mayor of the city of Tours. Father Honore changed his last name and became Balzac, and later bought himself a particle "de". Mother Anne-Charlotte-Laura Salambier was the daughter of a Parisian merchant.
the father was preparing his son for advocacy. In 1807-1813, Balzac studied at the Vendome College, in 1816-1819 - at the Paris School of Law, at the same time he worked as a scribe with a notary; however, he gave up a legal career and devoted himself to literature. Parents did little to do with their son. In the Vendome College, he was placed against his will. Meetings with relatives were prohibited there all year round except for the Christmas holidays. During the first years of his studies, he had to be in the punishment cell many times. In the fourth grade, Honore began to come to terms with school life, but he did not stop making fun of the teachers ... At the age of 14, he fell ill, and his parents took him home at the request of the college administration. For five years Balzac was seriously ill, it was believed that there was no hope of recovery, but soon after the family moved to Paris in 1816, he recovered.
After 1823 he published several novels under various pseudonyms in the spirit of "fierce romanticism." Balzac strove to follow the literary fashion. In 1825-1828 he tried to get involved in publishing, but failed.
In 1829, the first book signed with the name "Balzac" was published - the historical novel "Chuana"
His hopes of getting rich had not yet materialized (debt gravitates - the result of his failed business ventures) when fame began to come to him. Meanwhile, he continued to lead a diligent working life, working at his desk 15-16 hours a day, and annually publishing three, four, and even five, six books.
In 1845 he was awarded the Order of the Legion of Honor.
