Features: Balzac's immortal masterpiece, Eugénie Grandet, vividly recreates the provincial life of early 19th-century France, portraying a variety of characters, particularly depicting the typical image of a cunning, greedy, and miserly nouveau riche, Grandet the Elder, exposing the monetary relationships between people in society at the time. Père Goriot, on the other hand, describes the bizarre and diverse social landscape of Paris through the stories that unfold in the (Fogey's boarding house) of a remote neighborhood in Paris. The author examines and judges life with exceptional artistic skill. This book is translated by the renowned translator, Mr. Wang Zhensun, whose translation is accurate, fluent, and expressive, bringing Balzac's La Comédie Humaine to life before the readers, leaving a lasting impression.
