"The Story of a Donkey's Skin" has a magical and realistic color that is rare in Balzac's works. It is a classic philosophical novel that combines criticism, reality, and symbolism. At the beginning of his creation, Balzac aimed to bring together his personal life experience and philosophical thoughts to respond to the changes in society at that time - "Money is the only God." The book visualizes the contradiction between desire and life as a donkey skin. With this donkey skin, all your wishes can be fulfilled, but each time the donkey skin shrinks a little, until it disappears and your life is over. The person who owns the donkey skin is lucky, he can get everything, but he is also unlucky, because in the face of death, he dares not ask for anything. "Donkey Skin" made Balzac, who had been writing silently for 10 years, become a best-selling author in one fell swoop. Three years later, we began to build on this "Human Comedy", which is truly a foundation work.
