Honoré de Balzac is considered the founder of Realism in modern literature. His magnum opus, La Comédie Humaine, consists of 95 novels, novellas, and short stories that seek to portray French society of his time. The Magic Skin, which is part of La Comédie Humaine, tells the story of young Raphael, who receives a piece of wild ass's skin from an old antique dealer. The skin grants Raphael's wishes, but also shortens his life. With the talisman in his possession, the protagonist fulfills all his desires, becomes wealthy, and a respected figure in society, all while living in terror as he watches the skin shrink and his life ebb away with each fulfilled wish. Like numerous other works by Balzac, The Magic Skin is a critique of a society focused solely on the accumulation of material goods and power.
