About This Novel
"Eugenie Grandet" is a novel written by the French critical realist novelist Balzac. It narrates a story about money destroying human nature and causing family tragedy. The whole book takes Eugenie's love and marriage tragedy as the center of the conflict. Through a plot without poison, no sharp knives, and no bloodshed, it profoundly exposes Grandet's ugly way of getting rich, creates an image of a greedy, cunning, stingy, and cruel upstart, and nakedly shows how money can lead to the destruction of human nature. In this work, Balzac used comic exaggeration, personalized language and detailed character descriptions to perfectly portray the immortal image of the miser in the history of world literature, and profoundly demonstrated the endless greed and ruthlessness of capitalists.
