Features: This novel tells a simple story, a love tragedy, where an ardent girl falls in love with a faithless man. Worse still, the girl's father is a miser who knows nothing but amassing wealth. However, the two main protagonists of this love tragedy are not the main characters of this book. In other words, Balzac makes every effort to vividly depict not the faithless man in the tragedy, nor even the ardent girl, but the main perpetrator of the tragedy, old Grandet.
