Goriot Eugenie Grandet
About This Novel
"Petro Goriot" is Balzac's masterpiece. The basic theme of "Human Comedy" is reflected here, and its artistic style best represents Balzac's characteristics. The intertwining of the careerist's struggle for fame and fortune and Goriot's desperate fatherly love makes the content of the novel even more bizarre and touching. Here, some major characters such as Rastignac, Viscountess de Beauseant, and Vautrin appeared on stage one after another, and the "Human Comedy" kicked off.

I didn't expect Balzac's book to be so powerful! In particular, the characters of Old Man Gao, Ke Leng, the two daughters and the landlady have very distinct characters. Eugenie and Grandet personally felt that it was slightly inferior to Goriot, but after reading it, it still left a deep impression like a rut. Unlike some books, you can't remember some plots after reading them.
