Synopsis "Pere Goriot: (Translated by Ellen Marriage with an Introduction by R. L. Sanderson) (in English)"
Considered to be one of Balzac's most important works, "Pere Goriot" is the story of its title character Jean-Joachim Goriot, a mysterious criminal-in-hiding named Vautrin, and a naive law student named Eugène de Rastignac. We are introduced to the characters at Maison Vauquer, a boarding house owned by the widow Madame Vauquer. Central to the theme of the book is the struggle to achieve upper-class status in society. Rastignac is eager to achieve this upper-class standing but is unfamiliar to the ways of Parisian society. Vautrin tries to convince Rastignac to pursue an unmarried woman named Victorine, a dubious suggestion which involves the disposal of her brother who blocks access to the woman's fortune. The failings to achieve this upper-class status are exemplified by Goriot who has bankrupted himself in supporting his two well-married daughters, who despite the fact reject him. A classic and tragic story, "Pere Goriot" is one of the most pivotal works in Balzac's sweeping novel sequence "La Comedie Humaine", which endeavors to depict the social panoramic of the human condition. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, follows the translation of Ellen Marriage, and includes an introduction by R. L. Sanderson.
