Of course, Balzac differs from his disciples Emile Zola and Gustave Flaubert in that the social thesis was merely a consequence of his writing style. As a writer he sought to create a Paris that was as rich and vibrant as real-life but with vast connections that carried with it something fantastic. And indeed his characters are often cut from the same cloth as adventure heroes. Some of Balzac's works are closer to Creator/WalterScott than conventional realism.
