About This Novel
"Uncle Bangs" is Balzac's masterpiece and is known as the "highest peak of his art". Uncle Bangs lived in poverty and lacked understanding of real life, but he was full of sincere love for art. He loved collecting antiques throughout his life and did not hesitate to spend money for it. However, the reality is full of conspiracies. Poor Bangs suffered from mental torture and eventually died of poverty and illness. Through Uncle Bangs, Balzac vividly presents to us the greatness and nobility of mankind, as well as the humbleness, ugliness and filth of mankind.

I had watched Goriot and Eugenie and Grandet before, and I was so amazed that I thought it was Balzac's pinnacle work. Who would have known that the third Uncle Bangs I read would be just as good. When reading foreign literature, I was amazed at the hundreds of characters in Russian works, including Tolstoy and my favorite, the quiet Don River. But after reading Balzac's book, I was amazed again. Usually, when reading foreign literature, one often feels alienated. Cultural differences and translation problems make it difficult to experience it as easily as reading native literature. Therefore, it is not easy to admire foreign literature!
