Balzac is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature. He is renowned for his multi-faceted characters, even his lesser characters are complex, morally ambiguous, and fully human. Inanimate objects are imbued with character as well, the city of Paris, a backdrop for much of his writing, takes on many human qualities. Lost Illusions concerns Lucien de Rubempr a young poet trying to make a name for himself, who becomes trapped in the morass of society's darkest contradictions that ultimately destroy him.
