Parenting Comedy

One of the greatest of French novelists, Balzac, trained as a lawyer, was a great judge of human nature. In 1833 he conceived the idea of linking together his novels so that they would comprehend the whole society in a series of books.

Balzac's huge and ambitious plan drew a picture of the customs, atmosphere, and habits of the bourgeois France.
