Old Man Gao (translated by Fu Lei)

About This Novel

"Petro Goriot" is set in Paris from the end of 1819 to the beginning of 1820, and describes a thought-provoking story: the noodle merchant Goriot made his fortune by selling grain, but was abandoned by his daughter after raising him, and died tragically in the attic of the Voquet apartment; the young man Rastinana gradually embarked on a path of depravity under the corrosion of the upper class society in Paris. Old Man Goriot is both a pursuer of money and a victim of money worship. Before his death, he uttered a long howl intertwined with love and hate. It was a blood-and-tear indictment of the sins of money, and was hailed as the "eternal masterpiece."
