During my stay at Vendome, where Despleins had left me in charge of a rich patient, the sight of this strange dwelling became one of my keenest pleasures. Was it not far better than a ruin?

Honoré de Balzac, né Honoré Balzac à Tours le 20 mai 1799 (1er prairial an VII du calendrier républicain), et mort à Paris le 18 août 1850 (à 51 ans), est un écrivain français. Romancier, dramaturge, critique littéraire, critique d'art, essayiste, journaliste et imprimeur, il a laissé l'une des plus imposantes oeuvres romanesques de la littérature française, avec 96 romans et nouvelles parus de 1829 à 1850, réunis sous le titre La Comédie humaine, auxquels s'ajoutent quelque vingt-cinq oeuvres ébauchées et huit romans de jeunesse. Il est un des maîtres du roman français, dont il a abordé plusieurs genres: le roman historique et politique, avec Les Chouans, le roman philosophique avec Le Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu, le roman fantastique avec La Peau de chagrin ou encore le roman poétique avec Le Lys dans la vallée. Mais ses romans réalistes et psychologiques les plus célèbres, tels Le Père Goriot ou Eugénie Grandet, lui ont valu une qualification réductrice d' auteur réaliste, qui ignore son aspect visionnaire et la puissance de son imagination créatrice.
Le Bal de Sceaux est une nouvelle d'Honoré de Balzac parue en 1830. C'est la cinquième oeuvre de l'écrivain, et le plus ancien texte de La Comédie humaine.
There are houses in certain provincial towns whose aspect inspires melancholy, akin to that called forth by sombre cloisters, dreary moorlands, or the desolation of ruins. Within these houses there is, perhaps, the silence of the cloister, the barrenness of moors, the skeleton of ruins; life and movement are so stagnant there that a stranger might think them uninhabited, were it not that he encounters suddenly the pale, cold glance of a motionless person, whose half-monastic face peers beyond the window-casing at the sound of an unaccustomed step.

On y voit très nettement l'influence d'Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann et de ses Élixirs du diable que Balzac a certainement lus.
