Honoré de Balzacs (1799-1850) bok Far Goriot er en av hjørnestenene i det storslagne verket La Comédie humaine hvor Balzac forsøker å beskrive hele sin tids samfunn. Romanen er lagt til slutten av 1800-tallet i et Frankrike som etter den moderne industrikapitalismens gjennombrudd står overfor en helt ny sosial mobilitet. Den unge ærgjerrige jusstudenten Eugène de Rastignac blir introdusert til sosietetsverdenen og møter den forhenværende makaronifabrikant Jean-Joachim Goriots to døtre. Han blir vitne til hvordan de sakte, men sikkert ruinerer sin atoppofrende far. Samtidig fører han sin egen kamp for å komme opp og frem i det mondene Paris og trekkes inn i spillet til den mystiske Vautrin.
'This brilliant but devastatingly sad novel moved me so much, I began it again the moment I got to the end' Rose Tremain Monsieur Grandet is a very rich man whose chief care is his gold. He runs his household with exacting miserly attention and his wife and daughter suffer a Spartan existence. On the evening of his daughter Eugénie's twenty third birthday his foppish nephew Charles suddenly arrives from Paris. Eugénie has never known passion. Now, in an instant, she falls in love and her life is changed forever. Monsieur Grandet will not countenance his daughter's marriage to her penniless cousin and Eugénie's determination to follow her heart leads her into direct conflict with her father.

Monsieur Goriot is one of a disparate group of lodgers at Mademe Vauquer's dingy Parisian boarding house. At first his wealth inspires respect, but as his circumstances are mysteriously reduced he becomes shunned by those around him, and soon his only remaining visitors are his two beautifully dressed daughters. Goriot's fate is intertwined with two other fellow boarders: the young social climber Eugene Rastignac, who sees a way to gain the acceptance and wealth he craves, and the enigmatic figure of Vautrin, who is hiding darker secrets than anyone. Weaving a compelling and panoramic story of love, money, self-sacrifice, corruption, greed and ambition, Old Man Goriot is Balzac's acknowledged masterpiece. A key novel in his Comédie Humaine series, it is a vividly realized portrait of bourgeois Parisian society in the years following the French Revolution.
Eug nie Grandet is a novel by Honor de Balzac about miserliness. Eug nie feels an unsatisfying love for her cousin.
