About This Novel
"Eugénie Grandet" is a representative work of Balzac, the 19th-century French critical realist writer, the founder and outstanding representative of European critical realist literature. It is included in the "Provincial Life Scenes" of his masterpiece "The Human Comedy" and "Studies of Customs". It is regarded by the author and commentators as an outstanding picture in the "Human Comedy". This book is a classic translation by the famous translator Fu Lei. Balzac uses a network structure model, with Old Grandet as the center, and through the stories of Eugenie, Old Grandet, Charles, Crouch and others, he presents the French society in the first half of the 19th century in a three-dimensional and all-round way, and at the same time describes the diverse and complex characters. In the novel, there are Grandet who represents the stinginess, greed, cunning and coldness of the bourgeois nouveau riche; there is also the innocent and simple girl Eugenie who has abundant sympathy and love in the "kingdom of money"; and there is the dandy Charlie who sells his feelings and puts his interests first.
