Eugénie Grandet

by Honore de Balzac

Overview

«Eugénie Grandet» é uma das obras mais famosas de Balzac e conta a história de um amor frustrado entre uma jovem provinciana de 23 anos e seu primo parisiense. Embora a narrativa seja simples, retrata fielmente a escalada individualista de um plebeu que nada mais consegue ver e valorizar além do brilho do ouro. Assim é o pai de Eugénie, o senhor Grandet, um homem ambicioso e sem escrúpulos que coloca a ascensão social e financeira acima da sua própria família.

Editorial Reviews

"This brilliant but devastatingly sad novel moved me so much, I began it again the moment I got to the end."  —Rose Tremain
