Description
Entre un pauvre père pris de passion pour ses filles, une femme du monde jetant ses derniers feux avant de quitter l’arène et un inquiétant prédateur, philosophe de l’obscur à ses heures, un jeune provincial apprend jusqu’au dégoût l’âpre chemin de la réussite. Car le parcours qui mène d’une sordide pension au Paris aristocratique passe par la pauvreté, l’ingratitude, le crime, la vanité et l’égoïsme. Est-ce donc cela la vie humaine, « un zoo d’où l’espoir a fui » ?...
336 pages; Mass Market Paperback; Livre de poche

Mme
This edition of Le Père Goriot includes an extensive introduction, page notes and and post text commentary by Stéphane Vachon, professor of French literature at the University of Montreal. This places the text in historic context; including cross-references to authors preceding and contemporaneous with Balzac. It also hints at the re-appearance of many of the characters in other books of the Comédie Humaine. This was my first introduction to Balzac. I am hooked.
