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.
