Balzac is considered one of the greatest realist writers in the history of French literature, and he is even the pioneer of the greatest social realism in all world literature. This fact is emphasized leading to the neglect of another no less important aspect of Balzac''s creativity, which is the fantasy aspect. If Balzac had reached Millions of readers through dozens of realistic and social novels, he also knew how to reach them through fantasy novels, which are no less powerful than those, and even more valuable in terms of their entertainment, as well as their ability to reveal the great amount of wild imagination that this genius writer enjoyed. This prompted his critics to say that Balzac''s goal in these works was to push his reader to think and contemplate, distinguishing his position from the position of the English occult writers who essentially intended to "manipulate the reader''s thoughts and nerves" through his interaction with their works.
