Description

This is situated in Saumur. Eugénie’s father Felix is a past cooper who became rich in both industrial undertakings and bequest, having bequeathed the wealth of his mother-in-law, grandfather-in-law, and grandmother in only a year. Though, he is so derisory, and he, his wife, daughter, and their helper Nanon reside in a ramshackle hoary home which he is very tight fisted to reconstruct. His financier des Grassins desires Eugénie to wed his son Adolphe, and his attorney Cruchot desires Eugénie to wed his nephew President Cruchot des Bonfons, both groups ogling the legacy from Felix. The two families always make a visit to the Grandets to get Felix’s approval, and Felix one by one teases them off versus the other for his own benefit.

Honoré de Balzac was a French writer and dramatist. The book series La Comédie Humaine, which depicts a prospect of post-Napoleonic French life, is commonly beheld as his greatest work.

Due to his profound thought of particulars and unstrained portrayal of community, he is considered as among the founders of realism in the literature of Europe. He is famous for his creations with many features, even his minor creations are multifarious, justly abstruse and wholly mortal. Impassive things are instilled with liveliness too, the city of Paris, a setting for many of his works, brings on several human traits. His work inspired countless outstanding authors, such as Émile Zola, Charles Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, Jack Kerouac, and Henry James, movie producers Akira Kurosawa and Eric Rohmer also significant philosophers including Friedrich Engels. Most of Honoré’s writings have been adapted into motion pictures, and they remain to influence other novelists.

An aflame reader and free intellectual when he was young, Honoré worried about adjusting to the style of education of his grammar school. His spirited personality instigated perturb in his lifetime and hindered his dreams to be successful as a businessman.
