About This Novel

"Eugénie Grandet" is Balzac's most famous work and "one of the most outstanding pictures" in "The Human Comedy". The novel tells the story of a family destroyed by money. The innocent and beautiful Eugenie is the only daughter of the stingy and shrewd rich man Old Grandet. She falls in love with her penniless cousin Charles from Paris. For his sake, she does not hesitate to anger her money-loving father and spends all her private savings to help him go to India. As a result, the relationship between father and daughter broke down, and they lost their father and wasted their youth in the agonizing wait. In the end, what they waited for was a heartless man who made a fortune from human trafficking.
