As the cornerstone of "Human Comedy", this book tells the story of the tragic fatherly love of old man Goriot, a noodle merchant. He devoted all his efforts and wealth to his two daughters and sent them into the upper class. However, he was abandoned like a squeezed lemon and died miserably in the apartment of Vauquer. At the same time, after witnessing this tragedy and being "taught" by the fugitive Vautrin, the young Rastignac completed his enlightenment education in Parisian society, and finally threw himself into the challenge of Vanity Fair with passion. The novel vividly reveals the cruelty of interpersonal relationships in a money-based society, and is known as the "sword that destroys everything."
