Summary/Abstract: In the paper we are revising the communication between the foreword of La Comedie Humaine by Honore de Balzac, and the Lucien Goldmann’s theory of genetic structuralism from the perspective of the Robert Jauss’ theory of the expectancy horizon. The object of the paper is to indicate the significance of social-historical conscience in the writing which Balzac and Goldmann are representing, as well as the differences which are revealed in the comprehension of the interpretative structure of the writing. In the paper is being concluded that the reader, as a manufacturer of the interpretations, must not be excluded from the interpretative process, as well as that Balzac’s and Goldmann’s theory can be comprehended as one aspect in revealing of the meaning, though not as a possibility in accomplishing of the wholeness, neither substantial as Balzac had intended, nor structural as Goldmann did.
