About the author
Honor茅 de Balzac
8,293听books4,219听followersFrench writer Honor茅 de Balzac (born Honor茅 Balzac), a founder of the realist school of fiction, portrayed the panorama of society in a body of works, known collectively as
La com茅die humaine
.
Honor茅 de Balzac authored 19th-century novels and plays. After the fall of Napol茅on I Bonaparte in 1815, his magnum opus, a sequence of almost a hundred novels and plays, entitled, presents life in the years.
Due to keen observation of fine detail and unfiltered representation, European literature regards Balzac. He features renowned multifaceted, even complex, morally ambiguous, full lesser characters. Character well imbues inanimate objects; the city of Paris, a backdrop, takes on many qualities. He influenced many famous authors, including the novelists Marcel Proust, 脡mile Zola, Charles John Huffam Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, Henry James, and Jack Kerouac as well as important philosophers, such as Friedrich Engels. Many works of Balzac, made into films, continue to inspire.
An enthusiastic reader and independent thinker as a child, Balzac adapted with trouble to the teaching style of his grammar. His willful nature caused trouble throughout his life and frustrated his ambitions to succeed in the world of business. Balzac finished, and people then apprenticed him as a legal clerk, but after wearying of banal routine, he turned his back on law. He attempted a publisher, printer, businessman, critic, and politician before and during his career. He failed in these efforts. From his own experience, he reflects life difficulties and includes scenes.
Possibly due to his intense schedule and from health problems, Balzac suffered throughout his life. Financial and personal drama often strained his relationship with his family, and he lost more than one friend over critical reviews. In 1850, he married Ewelina Ha艅ska, his longtime paramour; five months later, he passed away.

(Book 921 from 1001 books) - Eug茅nie Grandet, Honor茅 de Balzac
Eug茅nie Grandet is an 1833 novel by French author Honor茅 de Balzac, about miserliness and how it is bequeathed from the father to the daughter, Eug茅nie, through her unsatisfying love attachment with her cousin.
Eug茅nie Grandet is set in the town of Saumur. Eug茅nie's father Felix is a former cooper who has become wealthy through both business ventures and inheritance (having inherited the estates of his mother-in-law, grandfather-in-law, and grandmother all in one year).
However, he is very miserly, and he, his wife, daughter, and their servant Nanon live in a run-down old house which he is too miserly to repair. His banker des Grassins wants Eug茅nie to marry his son Adolphe, and his lawyer Cruchot wants Eug茅nie to marry his nephew President Cruchot des Bonfons, both parties eyeing the inheritance from Felix.
The two families constantly visit the Grandets to get Felix's favour, and Felix in turn plays them off against each other for his own advantage. ...

Eug茅nie Grandet is an 1833 novel by French author Honor茅 de Balzac, about miserliness and how it is bequeathed from the father to the daughter, Eug茅nie, through her unsatisfying love attachment with her cousin.
Eug茅nie Grandet is set in the town of Saumur. Eug茅nie's father Felix is a former cooper who has become wealthy through both business ventures and inheritance (having inherited the estates of his mother-in-law, grandfather-in-law, and grandmother all in one year).
However, he is very miserly, and he, his wife, daughter, and their servant Nanon live in a run-down old house which he is too miserly to repair. His banker des Grassins wants Eug茅nie to marry his son Adolphe, and his lawyer Cruchot wants Eug茅nie to marry his nephew President Cruchot des Bonfons, both parties eyeing the inheritance from Felix.
The two families constantly visit the Grandets to get Felix's favour, and Felix in turn plays them off against each other for his own advantage. ...

"Era imposible no reconocer en el acento de esas palabras las esperanzas de un coraz贸n apasionado sin saberlo. Por ello, la se帽ora Grandet dirigi贸 a su hija una mirada impregnada de esp铆ritu maternal. Despu茅s le dijo muy bajo al o铆do: cuidado Eug茅nie, vas a enamorarte."
Siempre sostuve que "Eug茅nie Grandet" es, junto a "Rojo y negro" de Stendhal y a "Madame Bovary" de Gustave Flaubert una de las tres obras cl谩sicas m谩s representativas del Realismo Franc茅s, que justamente en el pa铆s galo se instaur贸 para derrocar definitivamente las predilecciones de los lectores europeos por el Romanticismo, e iniciando as铆 una nueva forma de escribir novelas y cuentos.
Dominando ampliamente las primeras d茅cadas del siglo XIX, logr贸 cortar el efecto idealista ca贸tico y descontroladamente sentimental del Romanticismo para ir apagando la pasi贸n desenfrenada del hombre de sus d铆as e introduciendo otros elementos mucho m谩s terrenales y menos et茅reos.
La pasi贸n comienza a te帽irse de intereses materiales, ya no es el coraz贸n el que manda en los personajes sino el cerebro y con este las ansias de ambici贸n y poder, utilizando al amor como arma y herramienta para lograr los objetivos planteados. El caso m谩s emblem谩tico es el de Julien Sorel en "Rojo y negro".
Y queda muy claro que en la Francia de Balzac los j贸venes ya no se suicidan por las penas del amor; en realidad lo usan para granjearse una posici贸n s贸lida en la sociedad, porque para Balzac, la posici贸n social y marital lo es todo y muy especialmente entra en juego un personaje af铆n al ser humano a trav茅s de todas las 茅pocas: el dinero. Y es aqu铆 a partir de aqu铆 donde se basa la historia de Eug茅nie, esta joven muchacha, no tan idealista como Emma Bovary aunque so帽adora tambi茅n.
Esta novela puede analizarse desde diferentes aspectos como los son la propia Eug茅nie, el dinero simbolizado en el oro puntualmente y muy claramente en el padre de Eug茅nie al que conoceremos como el t铆o Grandet. Este es el personaje que dominar谩 tres cuartos de novela y que forjar谩 la imagen de lo que un hombre codicioso y avaro puede llegar a ser en todas sus formas.
Grandet, es EL avaro. Su avaricia es llevada a l铆mites extremos, pr谩cticamente a la perfecci贸n y Balzac se encarga de diferenciarlo de Harpag贸n, el avaro de Moli茅re cuando afirma contundentemente: "Moli茅re ha hecho el avaro; yo he hecho la Avaricia."
Es indudable que lo de Grandet va mucho m谩s all谩 y la perfecci贸n de la avaricia reflejada en este hombre es lograda con creces por el autor, a punto tal que Grandet sucumbe totalmente al oro que lo encandila: "Nadie en Saumur dejaba de estar convencido de que el se帽or Grandet ten铆a un tesoro privado, un escondrijo lleno de luises, y de que por la noche se entregaba a los dif铆ciles deleites que proporciona una gran masa de oro. Los avarientos lo daban casi por cierto al ver los ojos del buen se帽or, a los que el metal amarillo parec铆a haber comunicado sus reflejos."
Es esta una manera brillante de definir lo que la Avaricia, como Pecado Capital representa y seguramente el t铆o Grandet estar谩 condenado a la quinta etapa del Purgatorio de Dante, en la Divina Comedia, atado de pies y manos y con la cara pegada al suelo donde debe pagar toda esa desesperaci贸n por el oro mientras estaba vivo.
Un gran humorista e ilustrador argentino, Roberto Fontanarrosa, supo decir alguna vez "El dinero es el 煤nico dios sin ateos". Vaya que don Grandet cumple con esta premisa...
De hecho, ya casi al final de la novela, Grandet, sobre el final de su vida le ense帽a todas las artima帽as del manipuleo del oro y el dinero a su hija quien, desenga帽ada por el desplante amoroso de su primo Charles, se vuelve m谩s fr铆a y calculadora, aunque no tanto como su padre.
Otro aspecto muy marcado en la novela es el contraste que Balzac instala entre el refinamiento de Par铆s, capital de Francia y su mirada marcadamente despectiva de sobre la burgues铆a de provincias, tem谩tica que tambi茅n aparece en la novela "Madame Bovary" de Flaubert, cuyo subt铆tulo es precisamente "Costumbres de provincia".
En esta novela Balzac diferencia y crea una marcada mirada casi despectiva acerca de los habitantes de Saumur, un t铆pico pueblito de provincias donde la definici贸n "pueblo chico, infierno grande" cobra vida y notoriedad.
Todo all铆 se sabe. Cada movimiento de sus habitantes es conocido por la peque帽a sociedad, 谩vida de chismer铆o y noticias fr铆volas.
El forcejeo entre los Cruchot y los Des Grassins, dos familias de poder que se disputan el coraz贸n de Eug茅nie para sus hijos es sacudido por la llegada del primo Charles desde Paris, quien r谩pidamente conquistar谩 a Eug茅nie y a partir de all铆 suscitar谩 cierto giro en la historia narrada.
Eug茅nie se debate entre el trato f茅rreo que le impone su avaro padre y las penas de su primo Charles a quien ya se le ha entregado su alma y su coraz贸n.
Balzac es un tanto inflexible, tanto en las caracter铆sticas de los provincianos como de extremado protagonismo que le imprime al oro y a los bienes materiales, ya que en lo que a Gradnet se refiere, todo lo que leemos est谩 relacionado con oro, fortunas, acciones, monedas, billetes, tierras, francos, capitales, intereses, en fin... materialismo por sobre el coraz贸n destrozado de los Rom谩nticos, pero que marc贸 a fuego lo que el Realismo en la literatura le daba a los franceses, especialmente a partir de 1830.
"Eug茅nie Grandet" es una novela corta en la que Balzac despliega su narrativa impecable para pintarnos un momento de 茅poca con el brillo enceguecedor del oro y sabor amargo de las l谩grimas que surgen de las penas de amor de Eug茅nie y sigue siendo hoy una maravillosa novela para leer junto al fuego una noche de invierno.

In Eug茅nie Grandet, Honor茅 de Balzac paints an eloquent portrait of nineteenth-century French society and the prevailing materialism of the time.
The story centers on the life of Grandet's family, circumscribed to the little avarice of their progenitor, characterized as a petty man who values the brilliance and tinkling of money to the point of exhaustion, symbolically of his social and financial ascent. The sobriety of Eugenia's father is such that he rations all the expenses of the house, causing the family to go through necessities.
However, one day, a cousin from Eugenia arrives in Paris who thinks of pleasing her cousin since a relationship between the two would allow him to live openly.
Meanwhile, Mr. Grandet receives a suicide note from his bankrupt brother. He asks his brother to take care of his nephew, who is unaware of the correct reason for his presence at his uncle's house.
The arrival of Carlos in the bosom of this family causes Eugenia to feel something that she did not know until then, motivated mainly by its refinement and good taste. Eugenia feels, therefore, the desire to please Carlos; she does not want her father.
Still, Mr. Grandet receives a suicide note from his brother, who was in bankruptcy, where he asks his brother to take care of his nephew, who is unaware of the valid reason for his presence at his uncle's house.
Upon learning of his cousin's marriage, Eugenia marries a friend of her father. However, she becomes a widow a short time later and discovers that her husband is not the noble and honest person she thought.
The novel is an audacious picture of a materialistic society in broad strokes, enclosing man in a web of deception, obsession with money, and lack of ethics. However, as the reader will see, money can not buy everything or bring true happiness.

A tragedy in disguise.
This story takes place in the town of Saumur. That is where Eug茅nie and her normal family live. Her father is a miserly former cooper who hides his fortune from her wife and daughter and forces them to live in an old and frozen house, which he doesn't want to repair because, well, money must be spent and that is exactly what he tries to avoid. Reading this novel made me chuckle several times because let's face it, we have all met a Felix Grandet in real life, at least once. A person who accumulates money simply to see its splendor on the table. He needs to know money is there so he can feel safe. He doesn't have a coat to cope with a freezing afternoon but he sure feels secure while contemplating a pile of money somewhere under his roof. The way those people think it is truly remarkable. They want to make a lot of money, they don't want to spend a dime and before they realize, their lives are over. They merely existed, for they have never lived. Unfortunately, they can't take their wealth to the grave 鈥� or wherever we go after we part from this world. If there is such a place. From a practical point of view, only the heirs might be grateful for that kind of life.
Well, I don't know what I was talking about exactly, but it seems like a good time to say that Balzac described places, situations and characters to the last detail, dexterously escaping from tedium, most of the times. His vivid writing allowed me to feel as if I were there, living in an ancient house, sharing moments with poor Eug茅nie, chatting about how every man who approaches her has an agenda. For that is the other side of this story: people being around other people only to see what profit they might find, since life is a business transaction. Some young men were sent to visit Eug茅nie as to transmit their marriage proposals, because their families knew about her wealth. Naturally, such thoughtful and hypocrite maneuvers are not something that only appear in the upper class, just as real friendship might be found in every social sphere.
In the end, Eug茅nie's kindness and noble spirit had to coexist with the avarice of her father, with the materialism of her world. Regardless of the selfish atmosphere in which she had to breathe, she learned that another source of happiness lies in the act of helping others.
This wonderful novel discloses many interesting aspects of our nature. The impact of money on people and their relationships. The superficiality it often helps to attain. The constant search for love in a world of possessions.

Well, I don't know what I was talking about exactly, but it seems like a good time to say that Balzac described places, situations and characters to the last detail, dexterously escaping from tedium, most of the times. His vivid writing allowed me to feel as if I were there, living in an ancient house, sharing moments with poor Eug茅nie, chatting about how every man who approaches her has an agenda. For that is the other side of this story: people being around other people only to see what profit they might find, since life is a business transaction. Some young men were sent to visit Eug茅nie as to transmit their marriage proposals, because their families knew about her wealth. Naturally, such thoughtful and hypocrite maneuvers are not something that only appear in the upper class, just as real friendship might be found in every social sphere.
In the end, Eug茅nie's kindness and noble spirit had to coexist with the avarice of her father, with the materialism of her world. Regardless of the selfish atmosphere in which she had to breathe, she learned that another source of happiness lies in the act of helping others.
This wonderful novel discloses many interesting aspects of our nature. The impact of money on people and their relationships. The superficiality it often helps to attain. The constant search for love in a world of possessions.
Prisoner, tell me
[...]
'I thought I could outdo everybody in the world in wealth and power, and I amassed in my own treasure-house the money due to my king. When sleep overcame me I lay upon the bed that was for my lord, and on waking up I found I was prisoner in my own treasure-house.'

Classic English literature has seen some memorable stone-hearted misers in it's time, but they pale in comparison to Balzac's provincial Midas, Monsieur Grandet, father of the long-suffering Eug茅nie. Grandet's wealth is legendary in status and, inevitably, when plucky Charles, his elegant, dapper nephew from Paris, turns up, Eug茅nie, accustomed to her father's spartan frugality, is hopelessly smitten with him. One of the Granddaddies of realist literature, Balzac paints a tragic figure at the centre of the novel, the sweet and titular Eug茅nie, the miser鈥檚 once innocent offspring and her sad story is a cautionary one about what happens when an obsession with lucre and social position supplants human affection. She inherits her father鈥檚 financial savvy and avaricious ways along with his fortune but is miserably short-changed in the love department. Charles arrives at their woefully rundown house in the Loire Valley town of Saumur, where Eug茅nie lives with her pathologically tight-fisted short and stocky father, downtrodden mother who felt like an old cobweb, and their overworked panic-stricken servant, Nanon. While Eug茅nie and her mother have no idea how rich F茅lix Grandet actually is, his banker, des Grassins, and his notary, Cruchot, aren鈥檛 quite so clueless. The two men and their families jockey shamelessly for the old man鈥檚 favour and Eug茅nie鈥檚 hand.
Eug茅nie regards herself, her gloomy home, and even her father in a newly critical light after Charles鈥檚 arrival, and emboldened by her surge of feelings for her cousin, she dares to indulge him with real wax candles, free-range eggs, and extra sugar for his sweet tooth, but alas, if she thinks the sun will shine down on them for all eternity, she is mistaken. This provocative, entertaining moral tale about avarice written all the way back in 1833 remains astonishingly relevant today. Balzac, like Dickens, zeroes in on the dark side of rampant capitalism, but instead of focusing pityingly on the have-nots, he skewers his era鈥檚 crass characters through with more humour than moral outrage. Money is a vast topic in literature, probably second only to love. Perhaps Balzac manages to combine both in a remarkably incisive tale pitted with tragedy. Eug茅nie Grandet ultimately is about unscrupulous people, and while Balzac has prepared us for Charles鈥檚 dastardly behaviour toward the fluttering Eug茅nie, it still comes as a shock to learn that this sweet-faced dandy, who wept over his father鈥檚 demise, makes his fortune in the slave trade. Even in 1833, decades before the American Civil War, Balzac鈥檚 damning portrait of Charles鈥檚 descent into unscrupulous selfishness is unequivocal.

October 8, 2020Of the countless volumes that passed through my hands, only a few remained attached to my soul and mind. But that is normal, I think, how would be to stuck to every book ? I'm talking about good books, certainly.
Amoung them, this disturbing radiograph of human psychology, but also a blunt painting of a begone society, but whose moral strengths have been perpetuated in eternity. Having the action placed in the west of France, at the beginning of the 19th century, after the restoration of the monarchy, "Eug茅nie Grondet" - is a terrible social fresco, in which Balzac manages to combine the portrayal of rural French with urban life.
Unlike " Le P猫re Goriot" - here Balzac pays more attention to country life, and is more of a novel of state, of atmosph猫re , in which the action does not matter as much as the introspection and analysis of All the characters. It is amazing, how, in just 200 pages, the author manages to draw with such ease, but at the same time - with such depth, the portrait of each person he mentions. Balzacian realism is not a picture of reality, even if its long descriptions might make you believe that. More than anything, the realist novelist is an illusionist.
It is necessary to analyse the composition of the novel, in order to reveal the writing strategies, that promote the refferential illusion, more precisely - the way in which the writer brings all the necessary elements to the reader, to believe that he is discovering reality. In order to make a mirror of the soul, Balzac selects symbolic details.
Reflection of national or social origins, whether it charms or arouses laughter, the character's words are fully part of their being, and are magic, thanks to the style , hence the concern in Balzac to give an account for linguistic peculiarities.
Speaking of the novel protagonists, the central character could be considered the heroine's father, however, Eug茅nie remains, arguably, the most interesting character of the novel.
If I were to say that "Eug茅nie Grandet" - was one of the first feminist novel, maybe it would be too much. But I thought how much Balzac would have been glad, knowing that females representatives finally won...

Pubblicato nel 1833 dal trentaquattrenne Honor茅 de Balzac [1799-1850], questo romanzo, ambientato nella provincia francese ipocrita, moralista e bigotta, racconta la vita difficile della famiglia Grandet in cui il capofamiglia 猫 dedito esclusivamente all鈥檃ccumulo di ricchezze e la moglie e la giovane figlia Eug茅nie, succube della volont脿 intransigente del padrone di casa, si sottomettono di buon grado a ristrettezze economiche e morali, prive di qualsivoglia accenno di ribellione o insofferenza; intorno alla bella Eug茅nie, futura ereditiera di un patrimonio incalcolabile intanto, calano gli avvoltoi in cerca di un matrimonio redditizio per i loro congiunti ma la giovane donna si mostra sorda e cieca a questi richiami finch茅 sulla scena non compare l鈥檃vvenente cugino Charles, colpito da una grave sciagura personale e familiare鈥� romanzo che ha come punto cardine il disinganno e la delusione piuttosto che l鈥檃more e l鈥檃bbandono sentimentale, quest鈥檕pera di Balzac 猫 un鈥檕pera orchestrata in maniera eccellente che centellina speranze e amarezze, sconforto e aspettative in un crescendo drammatico che sembra non avere fine e continua a permanere nella testa del lettore anche dopo averne terminato la lettura.

What a brilliant piece of writing. The detail used to describe each scene by Blazac paints a picture in your mind. I am reminded of Tolstoy鈥檚 War and Peace.
The story of the saintly Eugenie trying to live under the thumb of her Miser father is pitiable but a solid read. The life of Monsieur Grandet and his love of gold above all else seems painfully apt in this early part of the 21st century.
A classic that holds a place of reverence on my bookshelf.

Greed, greed and more greed and a miser with the Midas touch. Grandet rules his family and faithful servant Nanon in a regimen of rations and lies. He has no ethics and becomes completely obsessed with making money. Grandet makes Scrooge look benevolent. Then his nephew arrives whose father has gone bankrupt and blown his brains out.
Eugenie his daughter falls madly in love with Charles the nephew and he promises her his heart as he departs to the Indies to make his fortune. Of course the true path of love is never easy and Charles is a weak character.
What follows is estrangement of father and daughter and then a sort of reconciliation. The whole of their lives revolves around money, greed and materialism of theirs and of course all their friends and acquaintances.
Years later Grandet鈥檚 wife is a martyr and two families vie for Eugenie鈥檚 hand in marriage. Without spoiling the ending Charles returns but ultimately as another reviewer eloquently put money cannot buy happiness.

Well, this book was kind of hard for me. I guess I liked it, but I would have certainly appreciated it more if I hadn't read others of Balzac's Com茅die Humaine. I definitely liked , followed by . Balzac belongs to the school of European Realism. He excellently draws French life of the first half of the 1800s. In detail. Every room and every face and every everything is described. Nothing wrong with that, but third time around I didn't get anything new.
It was while writing this book that Balzac came up with the idea of the Com茅die Humaine. In the book's second publication names were changed so characters here would appear again in other books.
I liked P猫re Goriot best because more of the characters were of the less affluent classes. Aspiring characters or criminals or medical students or landlords 鈥�. In that book there are quite simply characters from many different walks of life. This book has fewer characters and there is one VERY central point being made. The emphasis here is the importance of m-o-n-e-y! You get nowhere without money. Bonds and currency and gold and how money makes money is a central theme. Bankruptcy versus liquidation. Avarice and greed and miserliness. Respectability is tied to money. It gives you power. It keeps you in control. It usually is tied to deception and cheating and bending of rules. Am I talking too much about the same thing? Well that IS what the book is about. OK, also about social mores and the rights of women versus men. Balzac clearly saw that women have two choices - marry or take the veil. Here, in this book, you have one of the lower class to observe, the miserly Felix Grandet's servant Nanon.
The characters may be fully realized, but they remain caricatures! None of them really change. None of them learn from mistakes. Is a child destined to take after their mother, their father?
Not much humor.
One thing that bothers me quite a bit is that the book describes typical human rather than proferring a different path. It is classified as European realism. I cannot help but object and say not everybody behaves so.
More could have been done to distinguish between provincial versus Parisian life. This would have added interest. I learned very little about Saumur, which is a beautiful town in the region of the Loire valley.
The narration by Jonathan Fried was fine. Not bad or exceptionally good. I could hear all the words and the speed was fine too.
I just cannot get terribly enthused by the book. Its message is so damn clear. There is not much left to think about. I mean if it had shown a possible way of escaping fate, of a battle to be overcome. Most people do not take up such battles. This is and remains a book of realism. It gives a description of a time and place.

Il mestiere dell鈥檃varo
Fisionomie, amori, giuramenti, dispiaceri e per finire 鈥渃os矛 va il mondo鈥�.
In mezzo un cugino bellissimo.
Di quella bellezza che solo i parigini sembrano avere: un鈥檃urea da intoccabili adoni, plateali don Giovanni che nonostante la sfrontata ricerca di una rendita cospicua vengono perdonati ed accolti.
Un incipit cos矛, vi basta per farvi capire da subito dove vi state andando a caccciare?
鈥� In alcune citt脿 di provincia si trovano delle case la cui vista ispira una malinconia pari a quella che destano i chiostri pi霉 tetri, le lande pi霉 brulle e le rovine pi霉 tristi. Forse in queste case sono presenti allo stesso tempo il silenzio del chiostro, l鈥檃谤颈诲颈迟脿 delle lande e l鈥檕ssatura delle rovine: la vita e il movimento sono cos矛 placidi che uno straniero le potrebbe credere disabitate, se all鈥檌mprovviso non incontrasse lo sguardo spento e freddo di una persona immobile la cui figura per met脿 monastica si affacci dal davanzale della finestra, al rumore di un passo sconosciuto. Questi principi di malinconia sono presenti nella fisionomia di una casa situata a Saumur,
Saumur, per l鈥檃ppunto 猫 il luogo dove si svolge questa storia.
Qui abita Grandet, vignaiolo arricchito e di un鈥檃varizia leggendaria a cui moglie, figlia e serva sono sottomesse giorno dopo giorno in stanze buie, fredde e con il cibo contato.
Una storia talmente tragica da sembrare comica nel solco di quella grande discrepanza tra vita di provincia, fatta di risparmi, e i tentacoli della Parigi avida e corruttrice.
I due poli si muovono ai loro estremi: da un lato l鈥檕ssessione di accumulare l鈥檕ro, dall鈥檃ltro quella di spendere e spandere il pi霉 possibile.
Un gioco degli eccessi a cui la giovane Eug茅nie si sottomette con una spiazzante ingenuit脿:
鈥漀on c鈥櫭� una delle sue felicit脿 che non provenga dall鈥檌gnoranza.鈥�
Forse il cugino Charles sar脿 colui che la far脿 aprire gli occhi?
Sono convinta che molti (non tutti) nascono con uno scopo.
Balzac 猫 nato per lasciarci questa meraviglia..
鈥漀ella pura e monotona vita delle fanciulle giunge un鈥檕ra deliziosa in cui il sole diffonde i propri raggi nella loro anima, dove il fiore esprime loro dei pensieri, e le palpitazioni del cuore comunicano al cervello la loro calda potenza fecondatrice, e fondono le idee in un vago desiderio; giorno d鈥檌nnocente malinconia e di soavi gioie! Quando i bambini cominciano a vedere sorridono, quando una fanciulla intravede il sentimento della natura, sorride come sorrideva da bambina. Se la luce 猫 il primo amore della vita, l鈥檃more non 猫 la luce del cuore? Per Eug茅nie era giunto il momento di vedere con chiarezza le cose di questo mondo. 鈥�

Having never read Balzac, I had no sense of how human and intimate this story would be. The delicacy of Balzac's descriptions of his heroine--the way in which he tries to capture, without judgment, her emotional universe--was really quite surprising and affecting. To be able to document the first blush of love felt by a provincial, perhaps rather small-minded, young woman with sensitivity and care is no simple task. This felt far more complex and thoughtful a treatment of that subject than anything I've read that was published in the past ten years--the supposed Golden Age of "young adult fiction featuring 'complex' heroines."
Otherwise, the rather small scenes of private life in the country, clearly influenced by Austen and her working of that "little bit of Ivory," speak of much larger political, cultural, and social transformations in Restoration France. Not knowing much about French history, I suppose I had never really stopped to consider the cynicism and disappointment that attended the period after the fall of Napoleon. Witnessing the ways in which the Revolution scrambled political and social categories, then watching a Corsican military officer become Emperor, and, finally, seeing France humbled by the other Great Powers of Europe would really have been quite the mindf&@!, wouldn't it have been? And, Balzac's almost post-modern suspicion of and boredom with "Progress" and its effects on morality, the family, and the small town were surprising to me.
All to say, this was a happy surprise. Now, onto Pere Goriot. Allons-y.

Eugenie Grandet is a quiet tragedy.
The eponymous character is the quiet and industrious daughter of a miser. His entire life is devoted to making more money, even faking a stutter to put other people off their guard in business transactions. Eugenie has known no other life - every day, she and her mother sit in their freezing sitting room (the fire can only be lit between November and April), mending and sewing. For her, this is not unusual, and she accepts at face value her father's complaints that they are poor and need to scrimp.

If you are to believe Balzac and Zola, how depressing life must have been in 19th century France. This book is titled for Eugenie, the daughter of the Grandet family, but it should have been titled "Grandet the Miser", because this was really his story, the story of Eugenie's father Felix. He was a miser that even surpasses Dickens Scrooge in his miserliness. You're thinking I didn't like this novel, but I did. Like Zola, Balzac establishes his characters so vividly you can't help but become interested. That's the case in this book with Felix and Eugenie. So real that you can feel the greed of the father and the suffering of the daughter. Beautifully written, the pages fly by as you need to learn the fates of these tragic characters.

[Note: I read this novel in March/April 2013 and posted a review in my Asia Sentinel blog on April 12, 2013. I've just dug out the review from my files and am posting it here with some minor changes. Date: April 17, 2017.]
What is a miser? The dictionary says it means either one of two types of persons: (1) one who lives very meagerly in order to hoard money; or (2) a greedy or avaricious person. I鈥檝e lately read Honore de Balzac鈥檚 famous novel Eugenie Grandet and am impressed with the author鈥檚 perspicacious insight into the traits of misers.
This is an excerpt from the novel that illustrates Balzac鈥檚 perception:-
A miser鈥檚 life is a constant exercise of every human faculty in the service of his own personality. He considers only two feelings, vanity and self-interest; but as the achievement of his interest supplies to some extent a concrete and tangible tribute to his vanity, as it is a constant attestation of his real superiority, his vanity and the study of his advantage are two aspects of one passion 鈥� egotism. That is perhaps the reason for the amazing curiosity excited by misers skillfully presented upon the stage. Everyone has some link with these persons, who revolt all human feelings and yet epitomize them. Where is the man without ambition? And what ambition can be attained in our society without money?.......
Like all misers he had a constant need to pit his wits against those of other men, to mulct them of their crowns by fair legal means. To get the better of others, was that not exercising power, giving oneself with each new victim the right to despise those weaklings of the earth who were unable to save themselves from being devoured? Oh! Has anyone properly understood the meaning of the lamb lying peacefully at God鈥檚 feet - that most touching symbol of all the victims of this world - and of their future, the symbol of which is suffering and weakness glorified? The miser lets the lamb grow fat, then he pens, kills, cooks, eats and despises it. Misers thrive on money and contempt.
In the novel, Felix Grandet is depicted as the stingy, egotistic and mean-spirited money hoarder in suburban France, against a money-grubbing social backdrop with the rise of the bourgeoisie. He rations everyday food for his weak-minded wife, his only daughter Eugenie and his loyal house servant, and purposely keeps his house in shabby disrepair, while making immense fortunes secretively. He almost seems to derive sadistic pleasure in ruling his domestic household with an iron fist.
The only two persons who have knowledge of his true worth are his lawyer and his banker. Knowing that these two are trying to get their respective nephew/son to win the hand of Eugenie, he plays one against the other to extract the greatest monetary advantage. He employs devious means to cheat and fleece his deceased brother鈥檚 creditors and insists on Eugenie breaking romantic ties with his own nephew Charles, who is left penniless by his deceased father鈥檚 bankruptcy. Charles is forced to go off to the Indies to find his fortune and Eugenie gives him all her gold coins that her father has given her over the years, to the miser鈥檚 furious dismay.
When Charles comes back to France a rich man, having made his fortune from dealing in slaves, he forsakes Eugenie for a wealthy aristocrat, mistaken that the former is now poor.
Eugenie, by nature a kind-hearted country girl, faces the music after having her heart broken by Charles and discovering her father鈥檚 base deeds. She becomes disgusted with the wealthy class as she learns about its hypocrisy and shallowness. Upon inheriting both her father鈥檚 and her husband鈥檚 fortunes (the husband being the lawyer鈥檚 nephew, who dies shortly after their loveless marriage), she chooses to live a modest and philanthropic life on her own terms.
The novel makes one ponder on whether there is an effective cure for avarice and excessive materialism in our society of today.

"La vida es un negocio", dice el padre a su hija. La vida, dir铆a yo, es un negocio en el que los intereses est谩n llamados a sepultarnos. Balzac ha tocado todas las fibras de una vida anodina, cualquiera, como es la m铆a. Violento relato. Con sabidur铆a profunda, Honor茅 de Balzac se permite evidenciar mediante un personaje monstruoso (Grandet padre), como dir铆a Huxley, lo que implica el ideal burgu茅s in extremis: desde la vida del tonelero Grandet, viejo avaro y despreciable que vive su vida en funci贸n de acumular riqueza sin siquiera disfrutar de las ventajas de la misma (m谩s all谩 de sentir pasiones libidinosas al sentir oro y plata en sus manos), hasta la existencia de Eugeni茅, su hija, mujer destinada de manera inconsciente a reproducir un estilo de vida que repudia pero que la condiciona m谩s all谩 del l铆mite de sus fuerzas y las trampas propias de lo que ser铆a su paso por el mundo de los vivos.
En el mundo de Eugeni茅, las personas "funcionales" s贸lo mantienen relaciones instrumentales con sus pares: les interesa el dinero de aquellos, todas las ventajas que representan para sus vidas ego铆stas y mezquinas. Los otros, esos que nunca logran acomodarse del todo (que pueden resumirse a Nan贸n, la sirvienta y amiga de Eugeni茅, su marido y las otras dos ayudantes de la casa) a las peripecias de la instrumentalizaci贸n del pr贸jimo, viven sus vidas encerrados en la comedia del transcurrir de los d铆as: se est谩 para cumplir con un destino infame, con una sola posibilidad de vida que es absolutamente deleznable, pero que no deja escapatoria alguna.
Debo decir que he quedado muy, pero muy complacido con esta obra. Intentar茅 conseguir pronto algo m谩s de "La Comedia Humana", conjunto de casi todas las novelas de este franc茅s que, en su af谩n literario, pretend铆a no menos que retratar la vida de la Francia del siglo XIX. Qu茅 bella es la literatura. Qu茅 bello es vivir para sentirse as铆 luego de leer un libro.

For a book with many perceivable defects, this is a strangely successful work of fiction. This is what I mean: Large chunks of the book are taken up with descriptions; the prose is rather clunky; the characters are types rather than individuals; the titular protagonist is mostly passive; and the plot seems more like a morality play than a human drama. In short, this book seems more alike to Candide than to, say, David Copperfield鈥攖he illustration of an intellectual point, rather than a story told for its own sake.
Nevertheless, it is perhaps the genius of Balzac that he makes it work as a novel and not just a piece of social criticism. This is owed, I think, to his genius for realistic details鈥攆rom decoration, to dress, to modes of speech, to diet, to details of finance. Even if the characters themselves are one-dimensional, they inhabit a richly conceived world. And the final effect, I think, it to show us that these absurd people鈥攖he horrid miser, the long-suffering wife, the avaricious hangers-on, the vain and ruthless cousin, and the submissive daughter鈥攁re not really so different from the people we know. Perhaps we have never met a miser as extreme as Monsieur Grandet, but his miserly instincts are all around us and within us. Are we so much better than this narrow-minded creature?
In the end, the book is successful, not because it is exquisitely pleasurable literature (frankly, it isn鈥檛), but because we can immediately see how it reflects our own world so accurately.

Si tuviera que definir en pocas palabras a este libro, usar铆a una frase bastante trillada pero no menos comunicativa: es m谩s liviano que el aire. Tiene su raz贸n de ser, porque era una novela que se publicaba por entregas y que, por supuesto, necesitaba mantener en vilo al lector para que la 鈥渃omprara鈥� (en varios sentidos de la palabra) completa. Y la verdad es que resulta. Cuando cre铆a que pod铆a ser una mala elecci贸n para estas alturas del a帽o, en donde las neuronas quieren tomarse vacaciones, termin茅 afirmando que no podr铆a haber elegido mejor. Eugenia Grandet (1833) es una novela 谩gil, con intrigas amorosas y financieras y personajes odiosos y adorables.
Los Grandet son una familia francesa provinciana cuyo patriarca, F茅lix Grandet, es un viejo avaro que finge frente a los dem谩s que no tiene ni una moneda para gastar. Imaginen a un hombre que en su despacho (y s贸lo 茅l puede entrar ah铆, obviamente) saca cuentas y repasa todo el tiempo la enormidad de una fortuna compuesta por herencias (incluso las de la familia de su esposa), ganancias de la producci贸n de vinos y varias especulaciones. Y ahora imaginen a ese mismo hombre advirtiendo a su esposa y a su hija, quien le da t铆tulo a esta historia, que no se puede encender ni el fuego ni las buj铆as en invierno salvo cuando 茅l lo permita, con la finalidad de 鈥渁horrar鈥�. Ni la se帽ora ni la hija se quejan porque las mantiene sumisas e ignorantes de todo lo referente al manejo del dinero. Lo 煤nico que ellas deben hacer es cuidar la casa y cumplir con sus labores de cristianas. Por supuesto, todas las familias con hijos varones quieren casarlos con la heredera, ya que la fortuna de Grandet es un secreto a voces. Des Grassins y Crouchot son dos de las familias en disputa, pero tambi茅n saben que tienen a un competidor aventajado: el primo parisino de Eug茅nie, Charles Grandet. Y 茅ste, que tiene una forma de ser que en las provincias causa admiraci贸n por el refinamiento que conlleva, no le ser谩 indiferente a Eug茅nie.
Con una capacidad 煤nica para construir caracteres y para describir escenarios (y creo que en Pap谩 Goriot tambi茅n lo destaqu茅), Balzac convierte en una historia muy atrapante un evento que se extiende por a帽os, que muestra una familia que se va enriqueciendo y extinguiendo al mismo tiempo por la codicia del jefe de la casa. Podr铆a ser un vecino, un conocido, un amigo. Por supuesto, los personajes femeninos, incluida Nanon, la criada, no ven ni siquiera la parte m谩s m铆nima de la fortuna que guarda Grandet. El conflicto est谩 en la prohibici贸n del uso y en la impunidad con la que Grandet prioriza el oro antes de las relaciones interpersonales. Ni su hija ni su esposa ni su sobrino merecen m谩s atenci贸n que sus negocios. Es un personaje repugnante. El conflicto se desata cuando Eug茅nie hace un uso muy noble (pero absolutamente ingenuo) de unos ahorros que son suyos y que el padre revisa todos los a帽os para controlar que sigan intactos y/o que se hayan acrecentado. Ah铆 est谩 la tensi贸n. Supongo que es una buena novela para entender un poco el manejo del dinero que ten铆an las mujeres al principio del siglo XIX (a fin de cuentas, es una novela realista), aunque Grandet es tan asquerosamente taca帽o que no me sorprender铆a que haya sido mucho m谩s libre que lo que este hombre permit铆a.
Pero tambi茅n hay una historia de amor muy tierna, con insta love incluido, casi de novela, que protagoniza Eug茅nie. Por suerte no todo es color rosa, as铆 que imaginen qui茅n va a sufrir. Al principio me cost贸 creer lo inocente que era Eug茅nie, pero despu茅s lo confirm茅. Es extraordinaria incluso con los defectos que son consecuencias de un padre que la mantiene ajena al mundo y de una madre que no es lo suficientemente avispada como para cambiar esa situaci贸n. Y a ra铆z del conflicto su car谩cter da un giro bastante bueno que hizo que me agradara mucho m谩s, sobre todo en el final. Resumiendo: es una hero铆na para tener en consideraci贸n. El centro de sus atenciones tambi茅n lleva estereotipos a cuestas. Estas clases de cosas se revelan cuando Balzac expone los pensamientos de X personaje, as铆 que siempre hay una pauta marcada de conducta. El problema es que no deja mucho lugar ni a la intriga ni a la interpretaci贸n del lector.
Otra peque帽a objeci贸n que tengo que hacerle al libro es el uso de 鈥渏erga鈥� de econom铆a. A veces se hace dif铆cil seguir la novela cuando Grandet y sus secuaces empiezan a hablar de escudos, francos, t铆tulos, liquidadores, deudas y dem谩s. La intriga principal est谩 en ese berenjenal de discursos t茅cnicos que Balzac intenta explicar lo mejor posible y le agradezco la atenci贸n (de hecho, preferir铆a que no explicara nada), pero no es algo que me entusiasme a la hora de leer. De todas formas, Eugenia Grandet es un lectura h铆per agradable, con personajes extremos y con un argumento que tal vez no sea el m谩s original del mundo, pero que presenta particularidades gracias al genio de Balzac.

"There is a constant duel between heaven and earthly interests. "
Some people are so intimately convinced that there is a paradise after life, that they accept with resignation, humility, magnanimity, kindness and charity, all the misfortunes of earthly life, and all human vicissitudes.
Some people are so deeply convinced that there is no hell after life, that they take possession on earth, with fierce, pretentiousness, smallness of soul, immorality and avarice, of all earthly material goods, of all the love they are given and never give back.
Eugenie Grandet appeared to me at first as a tasteless girl, submissive, stupid. But the more Balzac unveiled her grandeur of soul, the more she embellished inside and out.
Eugenie Grandet's father is a miser: "The God Silver is the only one in whom he has faith.鈥� I know some people who have their pockets sewn, I read with pleasure L鈥檃vare by Moli猫re, but we cannot say that we knew a true miser until reading about the father Grandet of Balzac! Avarice is not only material, it is also moral and intellectual, it is debasing, debilitating.
With Balzac's Grandet, avarice, pushed to its peak, can only bring misery and malice, or inner and outer wealth, and goodness ... And as the fragrant rose grows on the manure, Eug茅nie Grandet, raised in the house of wanted misery, will spread around her the benefits of her goodness.
Behind this little masterpiece, we feel all the titanic work of Balzac who has sought all his life to become rich without ever achieving it. However, in Eugenie Grandet, Balzac explains to us in detail how Grandet and his nephew became rich: to make a fortune, one must use means which, if they are licit, are not always moral. Maybe that's why Balzac never became a millionaire: he was too good!
Balzac had also, in private, good words; we find his humor unparalleled here and there: "It was very unfair to find that the poor girl had a repulsive face: she would have been very admired on the shoulders of a grenadier of the guard."
Balzac had, on a solid peasant's body, a muscular bull's neck, but a great delicacy of spirit, testifies this sentence:
"Charles took from his pocket a handkerchief embroidered by the grande dame who was traveling in Scotland, a pretty work done with love during the hours lost for love."
Seriously, don鈥檛 you think that such a handkerchief is worth being dedicated four lines finely chiseled? That's why I like the 19th century: the tissues were neither paper nor disposable!
For pleasure, an excerpt of a rare beauty:
"When children start to see, they smile; when a young girl glimpses the feeling in nature, she smiles as she smiled as a child. If light is the first love of life, isn鈥檛 love the light of the heart?"
And another beautiful thought wonderfully written:
"The woman and the angel have this in common that the suffering beings belong to them."
So, I highly recommend Eug茅nie Grandet if:
You have no scruples and want to make a fortune at any price,
You want a good example of self-denial and earthly goodness,
You want to savor all the intellectual and literary wealth of Balzac, which is worth more than all the gold in the world!
PS: I obviously read this book in French! :)
