This novel marked the true beginning of Balzac’s towering project La Comédie Humaine, his series of novels and short stories depicting “the whole pell-mell of civilization.” In Père Goriot, the great novelist probes the “bourgeois tragedy” of money and power from two different directions. While Goriot is willingly reduced to poverty to support his ambitious daughters, an impoverished young man of integrity becomes money hungry. Attracted to one of Goriot’s daughters, Rastignac succumbs to the fever of social climbing. The resulting tale is a commentary on wealth and human desire that still rings true in the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTranslated and with an Afterword by Henry Reed\u003cbr\u003e\nand with an Introduction by Peter Brooks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780451529596\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.7 x 4.1 x 0.8 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Signet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49183190286640,"sku":"Prakash_9780451529596","price":479.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/signet-book-default-title-pere-goriot-signet-classics-39032577884464.jpg?v=1753020012","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/pere-goriot-signet-classics","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
