Description Wiki
Old Goriot" or "Father Goriot") is an 1835 novel by French novelist and playwright Honor de Balzac (1799 1850), included in the Sc nes de la vie priv e section of his novel sequence La Com die humaine. Set in Paris in 1819, it follows the intertwined lives of three characters: the elderly doting Goriot, a mysterious criminal-in-hiding named Vautrin and a naive law student named Eug ne de Rastignac. Originally published in serial form during the winter of 1834 35, Le P re Goriot is widely considered Balzacs most important novel.[1] It marks the first serious use by the author of characters who had appeared in other books, a technique that distinguishes Balzacs fiction. The novel is also noted as an example of his realist style, using minute details to create character and subtext. The novel takes place during the Bourbon Restoration, which brought profound changes to French society; the struggle by individuals to secure a higher social status is a major theme in the book. The city of Paris also impresses itself on the characters especially young Rastignac, who grew up in the provinces of southern France. Balzac analyzes, through Goriot and others, the nature of family and marriage, providing a pessimistic view of these institutions. The novel was released to mixed reviews. Some critics praised the author for his complex characters and attention to detail; others condemned him for his many depictions of corruption and greed. A favorite of Balzacs, the book quickly won widespread popularity and has often been adapted for film and the stage. It gave rise to the French expression "Rastignac", a social climber willing to use any means to better his situation.
Description GoodReads
P re Goriot can rightly be regarded as one of the greatest of Balzac s novels, writes Henry Reed of this masterful study of a father who sacrifices everything for his daughters. This novel marked the true beginning of Balzac s towering project La Com die Humaine, his series of novels and short stories depicting the whole pell-mell of civilization. In P re 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.
