La piel de zapa is a novel by French writer Honoré de Balzac, published in 1831. Set in Paris, the story follows a young man who finds a magic skin that grants him all his wishes, but at the cost of his health and life. As he fulfills his desires, the skin shrinks, symbolizing the decrease in his vitality. The novel explores themes such as desire, ambition, power, and the consequences of impulsive decisions. It is an emblematic work of French realism and a reflection on human nature and the society of the time.

Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, described as a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.
