About This Novel

The novel is connected by three intertwined clues: the waves caused by the autocracy in the Grandet family, the overt and covert fights between the banker and the notary, and Eugenie's betrayal of Charlie after she fell in love with him. It tells a story about money destroying human nature and causing family tragedy, and reveals the corrosion and destruction of people's minds and souls by money. In terms of thought and art, it marks a leap in Balzac's novel creation. The novel successfully created the image of Grandet, a cruel, cruel, greedy and miserly capitalist, and he was passed down to future generations as one of the four misers in the gallery of world literary figures.
