Balzac's The Bureaucrats analyzes the state bureaucracy of 19th-century France. He satirizes its ranks of civil servants in a biting critique. The novel contains recognizable themes of Balzac's work--obsessive ambition, conspiracy and human pettiness, and a melodramatic struggle between social "good" and the evils of folly and stupidity.
