Honoré de #Balzac (May 20, 1799 – August 18, 1850) wanted to do with the pen what Napoleon had done with the sword.
And in a way, he did. His influence reached #Dostoevsky, Zola, Flaubert, Proust, Dickens, Wilde, and Baldwin. Dostoevsky’s first published book was a Russian translation of Balzac’s Eugénie Grandet.
