Owing to his keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society, 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. His writing influenced many famous writers, including the novelists Émile Zola, Charles Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, Jack Kerouac and Henry James, as well as important philosophers such as Friedrich Engels. Many of Balzac's works have been made into films, and they continue to inspire other writers.

In contrast with the realism of most of the Balzac's best known works, the novel delves into the fantastic and the supernatural to illustrate philosophical themes.In a castle in Norway near the fjord Stromfjord, S�raphit�s, a strange and melancholic being, conceals a terrible secret. S�raphit�s loves Minna, and she returns this love, believing S�raphit�s to be a man. But S�raphit�s is also loved by Wilfrid, who considers S�raphit�s to be a woman (S�raph�ta).In reality, S�raphit�s-S�raph�ta is a perfect androgyne, born to parents who by the doctrines of Emanuel Swedenborg have transcended their humanity, and S�raphit�s-S�raph�ta is the perfect example of humanity.
