Old Man Goriot (world Classic Literature Series)
General Fiction高老头（世界经典文学名著系列）
(french) Balzac's Original Work Adapted By Li Shan
"Petro Goriot" is a profoundly influential novel in "The Human Comedy", and it also kicked off the "Human Comedy". This book is the peak of Balzac's novel creation and has important features of realist works. Set in Paris in the 1820s, the novel depicts the despicableness and sin of the ruling class in detail by describing the story between the flour merchant Mr. Goriot and his two daughters, and the ambition and "struggle history" of the young Lastia.
