Eugenie Grandet

About This Novel

This book is "one of the most outstanding pictures" in Balzac's "Human Comedy". The novel narrates a story of money destroying human nature and causing family tragedy. It revolves around the central event of Eugenie's love tragedy, and uses three intertwined plot threads to connect the novel: the waves caused by the autocracy within the Grandet family, the open and secret fights between the bankers and notaries outside the family, and the painful life experience of Eugenie's love for Charles Grandet and Charlie's betrayal.
