He is the author of biographies of great people, novels and short stories, works on history and literary essays, travel essays and memoirs, poetic and dramatic experiments, he is a critic and publicist. As a natural development and the result of the entire creative path of Mauroy - a book about the creator of the "Human Comedy", the great realist Balzac. Prometheus, or the Life of Balzac... Comparison with Prometheus can be interpreted in different ways. Balzac is the thief of divine fire, who breathed a spark of life into a myriad of characters born of his imagination. Mauroy's book is preceded by the words of Balzac: "If you choose between Faust and Prometheus, I prefer Prometheus."
