Question

You might be thinking of Honore de Balzac - famous for his novel cycle, "The Human Comedy".

Try Balzac 'le Pierre Goriot'....I seem to remember from A level there was lots of poverty and misery in that.

Victor Hugo may be one that you find interesting. Perhaps you'd like his Les Miserables.
