About the author

Honor茅 de Balzac

8,079books4,190followers
French 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.

Our heart is a treasury; if you spend all its wealth at once you are ruined. We find it as difficult to forgive a person for displaying his feelings in all its nakedness as we do to forgive a man for being penniless.

is the first book I have read by Balzac and it took me completely by surprise. I must confess that the irony of the series title - La Com茅die humaine (The Human Comedy) - was initially lost on me and I had no idea I was about to open one of the most depressing books I have ever read.

Star ratings always feel woefully inadequate. Did I like this book? Did I enjoy it? Not in the slightest. It made me miserable and anxious. The detailed descriptions of places and people are dreary, or else grotesque. This story of an ageing man who is losing everything, growing older and poorer and more ridiculed by those around him, all as a result of his own selflessness, well, it's painful to read. It is a story which feels just so terribly... unfair.

That's what it is. It's not fair. I felt a bit like a foot-stomping, wailing toddler reading this book because everything seemed so very unfair. And yet, I guess I must in some way like wallowing in this misery because I could not stop reading in wide-eyed horror. Enjoyable it may not be, but compelling it definitely was.

Balzac begins with a richly-detailed description of Madame Vaquer's dismal boarding house. Into this wander our characters. A couple of older men and women, a young woman cut off from her father's fortune, a criminal in hiding, Eug猫ne de Rastignac - a young and ambitious student, and Monsieur Goriot, who is known by the more mocking name of "Old Goriot". This latter is regarded with ridicule by his fellow boarders as someone who has blown his money on mistresses and other frivolities.

Eug猫ne de Rastignac's social ambitions lead him to uncover the truth about Old Goriot, a truth which he uses to his own advantage.

Balzac was writing about a very interesting time in French society, offering not-so-subtle criticisms of the ruthless social ambitions people held. Madame de Beauseant tells us:
The more cold-blooded your calculations, the further you will go. Strike ruthlessly; you will be feared. Men and women for you must be nothing more than post-horses; take a fresh relay, and leave the last to drop by the roadside; in this way you will reach the goal of your ambition.

Old Goriot is a victim of this emerging culture, blinded by an unconditional love for those too concerned with social climbing to give him the time of day.

It is a bleak picture that the author paints-- one where money, social status, fancy clothes and upper-class balls have become far more important than love and kindness. Expect misery from start to finish, and one instance of particularly revolting racism. I'm making it sound wonderful, aren't I? I guess it all depends whether you read to feel good or read to have your heart ripped out.

(Book 920 from 1001 Books) - Le P猫re Goriot = Father Goriot = Old Goriot = Old Man Goriot, Honor茅 de Balzac

Old Goriot or Father Goriot, is an 1835 novel by French novelist and playwright Honor茅 de Balzac (1799鈥�1850), included in the Scenes of privacy section of his novel sequence The Human Comedy.

Set in Paris in 1819, it follows the intertwined lives of three characters: the elderly doting Goriot; a mysterious criminal-in-hiding named Vautrin; and a naive law student named Eug猫ne de Rastignac.

By page 130 I ran out of patience with this thing so I channeled my inner irritable 14 year old and composed the following review:

This Ballsack is a great writer I am told but one problem is that he wrote 4,578 novels, so which one should I read. I saw that Old Goriot has mostly 4 and 5 star reviews, so it looked like a good choice, but I was so so wrong. For the first 70 pages Ballsack describes buildings and characters, as if nobody knows what anything looks like or has ever met a student or an old dame or a boring old fart before. Everyone has met those types before, I meet them every day. No one needs 5 pages about what an old fart does. So nothing happens. Then after 70 pages people start to go into rooms and make speeches and go out of rooms. Not so often but sometimes, they take a carriage which is French for taxi to another house so they can go in another room and make a speech.
There is no story but if there is it is about this old Goriot who gave all his dough to his daughters who surprise turned into ungrateful bitches and don鈥檛 give a stuff about their old dad anymore and it breaks his heart but he should of thought of that earlier. Like King Leer, another windbag.


But then I read ten pages more and found 鈥� wait! 鈥� a little bit of plot appeared, and then some more, and pretty soon Old Goriot was bowling along spiffily, there were evil schemes, criminals were unmasked, there were huge rows, there was police involvement, there were gold lame dresses鈥� it was most entertaining!

There is a fabulous villain named Vautrin - here he is being very cheeky to some old dear who has just squeezed herself into a dress two sizes too small :

鈥淎h! Here comes Ma Vauquerre, fair as a star-r-r, decked like a Christmas tree 鈥� do we not feel just a shade too tight, Ma?鈥� he asked, laying a hand on the lady at the place where her corset took most strain. 鈥淥ur little front is well squeezed in. If we get worked up there will be an explosion; but I will gather up all the fragments with an antiquary鈥檚 care.鈥�

Now and then Balzac throws in some zingers like

You can do without a King but you can鈥檛 do without your dinner

and most of the time (after page 130) he writes with great comic energy, but he still doesn鈥檛 know when to shut up, so that when the big dramatic scene rolls round at the end we have to put up with a whole lot of eyerollingly ridiculous wildly overstated camped-up drama-queening

He stopped abruptly looking like a thunderbolt had struck him

He fell on his bed as if a bullet had struck him

鈥淧apa! Papa!鈥� the two young women cried, clinging to him to prevent him dashing his head against the walls

I cannot risk meeting your husband again, I should kill him on the spot


And perhaps the most ridiculous line in all of French literature

I wish I were God so that I could throw the universe at your feet

So..... this is a fairly infuriating mixture of the tedious and the fabulous. You may need amphetamines to get through the first 100 pages but after that this is pretty much a bittersweet tragicomical King Learish hoot.

Nothing is Black and White in the world of Balzac.

Hence his towering stature in the French Literary Pantheon, as evinced in the commemorative statue by the admittedly idolatrous Auguste Rodin. Balzac was a genius. Slightly mad, but very gifted.

You know, I guess each one of us is often pained and shamed by our own very spontaneous - and alas, often very public - displays of our own fallible humanity.

And Balzac鈥檚 poor characters ooze their humanity from their very pores, for better or for worse.

In Father Goriot鈥檚 case, it is patently for worse - for his open trust in people propels him ineluctably into personal tragedy.

Goriot is a na茂f - as we ALL seem so clearly to ourselves when suddenly caught dead to rights. But Goriot doesn鈥檛 do like we do and hold his cards ever tighter to his chest.

No, for he has been broken on the wheel of unrequited love: for you see, his affections are unreturned by HIS OWN ARRIVISTE DAUGHTERS.

Enters, then, another jeune arriviste: Eug猫ne de Rastignac. And yes, his appellation denotes nobility, but it is a noblesse manqu茅.

Financial scarcity has turned his family鈥檚 provincial paucity into penny-pinching. Except for the great rising family star, dashing Eugene.

For him, the world.

And so his assisted star rises (on Goriot鈥檚 back), as that old man鈥檚 luck falls flat.

Balzac here weaves a hauntingly sad and beautiful fable of the bitter fruits of na茂ve love.

Bipolar like myself, he sees the world from both its good and evil sides simultaneously. He enchants and he horrifies.

Because he can so terrify us, it鈥檚 best to start out in our reading of La Com茅die Humaine with the sunnier and less appalling works. Goriot seems about midpoint in his manic spectrum, hence a good place to start.

When I rated this book after reading it, I gave it four stars.

But now, shocked into stunned silence by B鈥檚 Cousin Bette, I give Goriot the full five, knowing now that it doesn鈥檛 get any better than THIS.

It鈥檚 the Creation of a True Master.

I had to grow up to fully appreciate Balzac. I've tried reading several of his books as teenager but I surrendered in frustration and boredom. Not this time. Yes, the writing is still flowery, although realistic, and there way too many lengthly descriptions. However, I was not bored and I was actually mesmerised by the prose. Also, it is hard to remain untouched by the fate of poor Father Goriot and not to be enraged by the Paris society of those times. A novel about love, indifference, the perils of wanting too much too soon, criminality an so much more. Sad and beautiful.

O poveste extraordinar膬, un Rege Lear burghez. Din p膬cate:

Nu m-am 卯mp膬cat niciodat膬 cu grandilocven葲a lui Balzac. 葮i nici cu aceea a lui Victor Hugo. 葮tiu, era stilul epocii (bombastic c卯t 卯ncape) 葯i consecin葲a claselor de retoric膬 din 卯nv膬葲膬m卯ntul francez. Pe patul de moarte, s膬rmanul Goriot, fostul negustor de gr卯ne 葯i f膬in膬, nu g膬se葯te nimic mai bun de f膬cut dec卯t s膬-葯i exprime durerea 卯n figuri de stil: 鈥濧, Doamne, mor, suf膬r prea mult! T膬ia牛i-mi capul, l膬sa牛i-mi numai inima鈥�.

Continui s膬 cred c膬 un muribund (oric卯t de 卯ndurerat ar fi, 葯i, 卯n acest ceas solemn, nu are cum s膬 nu fie 卯ndurerat) se cuvine a fi minimalist. Dou膬-trei cuvinte s卯nt de ajuns. O propozi葲ie simpl膬 mai merge. Dar mo葯 Goriot roste葯te, in articulo mortis, un adev膬rat discurs politic. Cu vremea am ajuns s膬 nu mai dau at卯ta importan葲膬 stilului. Exist膬 romane proaste scrise excelent 葯i romane bune scrise infernal. De la o vreme, intransigen葲a mea s-a tocit, caninii 葯i-au pierdut ascu葲i葯ul. S卯nt mai interesat de poveste dec卯t de stil. Iar povestea din Mo葯 Goriot r膬m卯ne valabil膬, 卯n pofida exceselor autorului. Citim o dram膬.

Balzac a lucrat 4 luni la acest roman, c卯te 18 ore pe zi. L-a terminat prin octombrie 1834. C卯nd a pus tocul jos, a fost cuprins de exaltare: nimeni nu scrisese ceva mai bun. Exclam膬 satisf膬cut: 鈥濪ep膬葯e葯te toate operele mele de dinainte. Eug茅nie Grandet, C膬utarea absolutului, totul este 卯ntrecut... Du葯manii mei cei mai 卯nd卯rji葲i au 卯ngenuncheat. Am triumfat fa葲膬 de to葲i 葯i de toate, de prieteni ca 葯i de invidio葯i鈥�. Unul dintre invidio葯i se numea Sainte-Beuve.

Ideea de a redacta un roman pe tema Regelui Lear (mutatis mutandis) i-a venit pe la 卯nceputul anului. A meditat, 葯i-a f膬cut note. Una dintre ele sun膬 precum urmeaz膬:
鈥濻ubiectul lui Mo葯 Goriot - un b膬tr卯n cumsecade - pensiune burghez膬 - 600 de franci rent膬 - care s-a despuiat de toate pentru fiicele sale, care au, fiecare, 50.000 de franci rent膬, moare ca un c卯ine鈥�.

N-am g膬sit 卯n literatura critic膬 un rezumat mai bun. Fiicele lui Jean-Joachim Goriot se numesc Anastasie 葯i Delphine, s-au m膬ritat cu bancheri 葯i nobili putred de boga葲i, au aman葲i chipe葯i (cea mai t卯n膬r膬, Delphine, 卯l prefer膬 pe studentul Eug猫ne de Rastignac) 葯i, din iubire 葯i devotament, 葯i-au ruinat tat膬l. Ar fi bine s膬 precizez c膬 ac葲iunea romanului se petrece 卯ntre noiembrie 1819 葯i februarie 1820.

Am v膬zut mai sus orgoliul lui Balzac. El n-a fost 葯tirbit de judecata negativ膬 a lui Sainte-Beuve (Balzac este 鈥瀠n scriitor mediocru, stilul lui este lamentabil鈥�) 葯i nici de antipatia urma葯ilor (printre ei, Flaubert: 鈥濻膬racul Balzac, da tare prost mai scrie!鈥�).

Mul葲i s-au 卯ntrebat ce este balzacianismul. Cred c膬 este credin葲a 卯n determinism. Cum e pensiunea v膬duvei Vauquer a葯a e 葯i plebea care locuie葯te acolo. Esen葲a balzacianismului rezult膬 din portretul teribilului Vautrin (zis 葯i 鈥濸膬c膬le葯te-Moartea鈥�), om de suflet, uciga葯 葯i t卯lhar:
鈥灻巒 ciuda 卯nf膬牛i艧膬rii lui de om cumsecade, avea un fel de a te privi, ad卯nc 艧i ne卯nduplecat, care st卯rnea at卯ta team膬, 卯nc卯t datornicii lui ar fi 卯nfruntat mai degrab膬 primejdia mor牛ii dec卯t pe aceea de a nu-i 卯napoia banii 卯mprumuta牛i. Iar felul cum zv卯rlea scuipatul dintr-o 牛卯艧nitur膬, ar膬ta c膬 are o fire rece 艧i neclintit膬, care nu s-ar fi dat 卯napoi nici de la o crim膬 ca s膬 ias膬 dintr-o 卯ncurc膬tur膬鈥�.

P. S. Titlul Le P猫re Goriot nu are un echivalent potrivit 卯n rom芒n膬. S-a 卯ncercat 葯i Taica Goriot, dar nu merge...

A classic French novel written in 1834 but set in Paris in 1819.

Pere in the title means Father, and it鈥檚 in part a story of an old man鈥檚 obsessive love for his two married daughters. He was once a wealthy flour merchant but he gave all his money to his daughters while he lives in penury in a squalid pension run by a penny-pinching nasty lady.

description

Pere has a few pieces of silver left that he sells when his daughters need a new gown for their high-society lives. Both have wealthy, controlling husbands who are stingy with their money. Both daughters and their husbands are embarrassed by the shabby old man. Pere seldom sees them and spends his days sitting in parks waiting to wave at them when their carriages go by. That鈥檚 about all the interaction he has with them.

There鈥檚 a cast of 18 quirky Dickens-like characters, men and women of all ages, also resident in the pension. We have a young male medical student (whose skills come in handy at various times), a young woman disowned by her wealthy father, a vicious wanted criminal in disguise, and many others.

Eugene, a young man resident in the pension, really becomes the main character in the story. Supposedly he鈥檚 a student but mostly he leaves classes after roll call. His goal is to leave his impoverished small-town background behind by marrying a wealthy woman and becoming a member of high society. Eugene has a well-placed cousin who is a high society queen and he works on her and Goriot's daughters to worm his way in.

We are presented with a very jaded and cynical outlook on the upper levels of French society filled with artificiality and deceit. All three society women Eugene gets involved with have other men in their lives besides their husbands, apparently with their husbands鈥� knowledge. And we know the husbands are not sitting by the fire reading Balzac. I say French society, but I should say Parisian society. It comes across very strongly in this book, as in many of Balzac鈥檚 novels, that Paris is the center, not just of France, but of the world.

One of the boarders makes a point of tutoring Eugene on the ways of the world. The boarder鈥檚 philosophy of society is basically 鈥榗heat him before he cheats you; kill him before he kills you.鈥�

Combined with what Eugene sees himself, the young man grows to accept this sour view of society. He tells the medical student 鈥淲hatever evil you are told about society, you can be sure it鈥檚 true. It would take more than a Juvenal to describe the horror under the gold and the jewels.鈥� [Juvenal was a Roman poet who wrote satires of society.] And Eugene thinks: 鈥淔iner spirits can鈥檛 stay long in this world. And how indeed can deep feeling reconcile itself with a society so shabby and petty and superficial?鈥�

description

Balzac (1799 鈥� 1850) was a prolific author, publishing almost 70 novels and novellas with a goal of writing about every type of human character. Balzac called this endeavor The Human Comedy. The author praises Eugene at one point saying that as he matured he was learning to 鈥渄istinguish the strata that compose human society.鈥� His writing influenced Emile Zola, Charles Dickens, Marcel Proust, Gustave Flaubert, and Henry James.

Balzac was an early realist writer who is credited with introducing the idea of using characters in multiple novels. The character of Eugene de Rastignac ended up in 22 novels. In fact, the French use the term 鈥楻astignac鈥� to mean an ambitious social climber. Balzac spent much of his life banging out books to pay off debts. He didn鈥檛 get married until age 50 and then died, supposedly from overwork, six months later.

Balzac was paid by the word and it shows in this story which comes across as somewhat bloated and sometimes repetitive. For example, we get five pages on the urban setting of the pension and the physical description of the house and rooms. Although I must also say it is a well-written lush description. Characters are left dangling at the end of the book, so that you wonder 鈥榳ell what happened to her?鈥� But still a great story.

SCHMIDT: Last thing, if Mueller was looking at your finances and your family finances, unrelated to Russia 鈥� is that a red line?

HABERMAN: Would that be a breach of what his actual charge is?

TRUMP: I would say yeah. I would say yes. By the way, I would say, I don鈥檛 鈥� I don鈥檛 鈥� I mean, it鈥檚 possible there鈥檚 a condo or something, so, you know, I sell a lot of condo units, and somebody from Russia buys a condo, who knows? I don鈥檛 make money from Russia. In fact, I put out a letter saying that I don鈥檛 make 鈥� from one of the most highly respected law firms, accounting firms. I don鈥檛 have buildings in Russia.

We have all the funding we need out of Russia. We've got some guys that really, really love golf, and they're really invested in our programs. We just go there all the time.

[But seriously...]

I just finished rereading Le P猫re Goriot. I first read it over twenty years ago, and whether it was due to insufficient French or insufficient understanding of La Com茅die humaine, I didn't properly appreciate it. This time, having read ten Balzacs over the last year, I was blown away.

For other people who are thinking of getting into Balzac, here's a piece of practical advice that might be helpful. I am surprised this doesn't seem to be generally known, but the core of the series is the loose trilogy that starts with Le P猫re Goriot and then continues with Illusions perdues and Splendeurs et mis猫res des courtisanes. Most of the other books feed into this story in one way or another (there are some standalones like Eug茅nie Grandet and Le M茅decin de campagne). I read these books in the wrong order, but I'm pretty sure I would have made more rapid progress if I'd started off with the trilogy - all three books are really excellent novels - and then read others as backstory. Now that I've caught up, I'm going to continue with that program. Coming up next, L'Interdiction, La Duchesse de Langeais (again, read it before I understood its place in the series and need to reread), La Maison de Nucingen and Gobseck.

P猫re Goriot by Honor茅 de Balzac | 欧宝娱乐

Pere Goriot (1835), Honore de Balzac's novel centered on French society after the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo and subsequent restoration of the Bourbons is impressively detailed. Through an analysis of families, marriage and institutions, Balzac presents fully realized characters from diverse backgrounds. When reading this novel, you do feel immersed in the upheaval of French society. That immersion extends to the characters, so many characters--their motivations, social climbing (here a major theme), virtues and pettiness. In the end, you (I) want to scream at Goriot to not give all his money to his daughters. Ah, wasted breath! and (2) feel like you've lived through the upheaval yourself. Overall, I found Pere Goriot an exhausting but very rewarding experience.

No doubts on my part. This novel deserves a 5-star rating. Challenge my rating if you want and I know I can defend it, tooth and nail.

At first, this seems to be just a story of an old man, Pere Goriot and how he ends up in the pupper's grave despite being a rich businessman when he's still strong. His fault is that he loves and cares for his 2 spoiled uncaring ungrateful daughters who get all his riches and in the end don't even care going to his deathbed. However, that plot seems to be just secondary to the story of a young man, Eugene de Rastignac who uses all the opportunities for him to climb the social ladder. That makes this novel partly a bildungsroman and should have inspired James Joyce to write A Portrait of a Young Man as an Artist. Part of this climb is one of Goriot's daughters, Delphine. The good thing about Rastignac is that even if he uses other people, he is also a caring and sensitive man. He and the houseboy, Christophe are the ones who stay by Goriot's side and finance his burial.

Maybe I am already old and a father myself so I felt so sad reading the lamentations of the dying poor Goriot. My heart ached while he says this to Eugene about his daughters refusing to visit him: "God, if I could only hold their hands in mine, I would not feel any pain at all. Do you think they'll come?" I have read stories where a dying person asked somebody, usually a loved one, to hold his hand while he breathed his last because he was afraid. It should be the same feeling when we were kids and we wanted our parents to hold our hands as we walked outside for the first time. We were afraid.

As for literary significance, Le Pere Goriot started the use of recurring characters and the story goes that the eureka moment happened when Balzac was writing this and declared that he thought we would be rich because of the idea. In this novel, the characters of Eugene de Rastignac and Vautrin, among others, appear in his succeeding works. Le Pere Goriot is also said to be the finest of Balzac's other works and it also started the idea of grouping these works into what he termed as La Comedie Humaine or Human Comedy which was a parody of Dante's Divine Comedy. The Human Comedy is composed of 90+ works by Balzac and they depict the slices of Parisian lives during Balzac's time (1799-1850).

Surprisingly, the writing is easy to understand and definitely not archaic. The parts involving Vautrin particularly the plot to kill the husband of a rich wife that Rastignac can marry at first gave me that feeling that this would be a crime thriller but it was just used to illustrate what Rastignac could be capable of doing to be rich. In the end, true to the bildungsroman form, when he looks back at Paris, having shed a tear for Old Goriot, he says: "Now, it's between you and me" and we know that he has just transformed to a better man.

Oh dear, my first Balzac and definitely will not be my last. My only problem is that he has 90+ more like this in his Le Comedie Humaine and how I could finish all those before I die. Considering that I still have 800+ 1001 books to read, I need to live up to 100 to finish everything.

I will confess that my obsession with Balzac in my early twenties equalled P猫re Goriot's unconditional and quite blind love for his daughters!

When I read P猫re Goriot, quickly followed by Les Illusions Perdues and many other novels in the Com茅die Humaine, I lacked the complete cynicism to understand a Rastignac or Vautrin and the mechanisms behind the tragedy of exploitation of those who love with a passion by those who celebrate their own self-indulgence and instant gratification most of all.

Therefore, I read Balzac with a sense of surreal pain, stunned by the outlandish ruthlessness of his main characters, taking what they needed when they needed it and leaving pain and destruction in their path. Truly, in my eyes they were pirates in the charmingly mythical and colourful sense of a Jack Sparrow.

Fast forward twenty years: I have lived through my share of the human comedy by now, and what I took for literary exaggeration has morphed into deep understanding of Balzac's knowledge of the human soul, or lack thereof, as the case may be. A P猫re Goriot can't help loving his daughters any more than they can help falling for the villains of the world, having been spoiled to the point of losing their hearts and their empathy.

That is the paradox of the tragicomedy of life. You can destroy as much by unconditional love as by hatred or indifference. If you remain blind and emotionally dependent in your personal relationships, predators will sense that and make their moves without ever stopping to consider your position. Tragically, a loving and caring person rarely understands the fact that there are people who actually do not have empathy. Therefore, they set themselves up for victimhood over and over again, expecting others to think like they do themselves. The strength of the predator lies in his or her carelessness.

Balzac wrote a masterpiece of parental failure based on overprotective and helpless love. And he wrote a masterpiece of soulless exploitation of the weak links in society as well. Rastignac is Dorian Grey's portrait walking the streets and celebrating its ugliness!

These relics are historical artifacts to be marveled at for prolonged semi-meditative snatches of time, are essential to readers' educations. I found much of value in this, my first novel by Balzac, mostly in how sad sociological circumstances can be, & how nothing much changes when money is the main ingredient in how a person's life shall be.

This is a tragedy, perhaps not as Shakespearean as one would like (or ironic--it naturally follows its predestined course the entire time), but it IS full of woe-is-meisms & melancholy in the treatment of one human from one class to another. & the surplus description that's a signature of Balzac, is no detractor; in being so faithful with his worlds & rooms of wondrous decrepitude it paints a world no longer alive (though themes are eternal) as well as a type of novel no longer being written.

The Importance of Being Cynical

Rastignac鈥檚 education is the theme of the novel 鈥� provided at the expense of P猫re Goriot, who built up a fortune from nothing, married his daughters into wealth and was duly ignored and left to die a lonely death. This clear tragedy tells Rastignac, and perhaps France itself, what it takes to succeed in a Capitalist World: ruthlessness and a complete apathy to moral sentiments.

As Vautrin explains to Rastignac, it is illusory to think that social success can be achieved through study, talent, and effort 鈥� you can never get anywhere worthwhile by slaving your life away earning an honest living out of your education and skills. All you need is cynicism. P猫re Goriot was a great teacher. Nothing else could have convinced Rastignac.

P.S. This short review is inspired by 鈥檚 analysis of the novel in , to help explain the structure of wealth in Europe in the era under study:

鈥溾€� the structure of the income and wealth hierarchies in nineteenth-century France was such that the standard of living the wealthiest French people could attain greatly exceeded that to which one could aspire on the basis of income from labor alone. Under such conditions, why work? And why behave morally at all? Since social inequality was in itself immoral and unjustified, why not be thoroughly immoral and appropriate capital by whatever means are available?鈥�


This clarified the unease the reviewer had felt towards Balzac鈥檚 message. Was it that Rastignac should be pitied? Or was he a hope that even a complete cynic once had hope and could have taken a different turn? Or was it that if only the Goriots could be treated better the Rastignacs might find more motivation to stick it out in honorable professions? Or was it that all pretensions to live a up-and-comer middle-class life is buying into the capitalist illusion? Piketty鈥檚 small piece on the novel helped this reviewer finally place the novel.

Years ago my mum was an English literature professor and my dad a linguist at an university. Ever since I could read beyond the alphabet books I was spoon fed 'serious classic literature'. Mum had a particular passion for all things French, and I read things like The Red and the Black and Madame Bovary before Harry Potter was even published. Like most normal children, I did not enjoy anything over 200 pages with dense text about poverty and woman's fashion and instead resorted to large amount of 'serious classic science fiction' and Gothic literature instead. As a result, I've always carried this fear and 'Urgh, not another painting on the cover Penguin classic again' attitude towards well, 'serious things'.

So the other day I came across Pere Goriot and thought, hey, now that I'm over 20, I should maybe grow up and read 'serious' things again. I vaguely recall skimming through my dad's copy when I was 8, but quickly gave up when the afternoon cartoon came on TV.

First of all, this is nothing like those old hardcover dust mite infested books my mum used to keep (and still keeps, I suspect). Rather, this is like an episode of Home and Away - a lot of things happen, a lot of drama, internal monologues, speeches, great dialogues and MORE DRAMA. I remember thinking 'Wow, this is great. People used to have such interesting lives.' I was genuinely surprised by how melodramatic yet entertaining the novel was. It has duels, romance, ambitious young man, conspiracy and woman's fashion (now I can actually appreciate it). The characters are fun and even the minor ones are well considered. The last 50 pages are literally mind blowing - the voices were yelling inside my head, everything was a bit delirious and OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING IN A FRENCH 19TH CENTURY NOVEL!!!

Now, I must call dad and let him know how much I love Balzac and that one day I may even attempt Proust. One day.

60th book of 2021. Artist for this review is French painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
He saw society as an ocean of mire into which one had only to dip a toe to be buried in it up to the neck.

My first Balzac, and I am left impressed. Starting it, I wondered if this would be those fairly short novels that feel 100 pages longer, but that fear quickly disappeared. It does begin with a lengthy (in true 19thC fashion) description of a boarding-house and its inhabitants, which makes for slow progress, especially attempting to commit the French names to memory, but as soon as the story begins, the narrative becomes readable and enjoyable. Balzac (or rather, Krailsheimer) surprised me with its readability. Set in 1819, just three years after the Battle of Waterloo, the backdrop to Balzac's novel is a Paris in love with money, affluence and social status.

description
"Pont Neuf"鈥�1872

The titular P猫re Goriot doesn't hold down the narrative in the beginning, instead we follow Eug猫ne de Rastignac, a law student. Rastignac is in the boarding-house with Goriot though, and the mysterious ex-convict Vautrin. P猫re Goriot is book 23 of his 89 (give or take, depending) book/story multi-volume collection, La Com茅die humaine. Balzac divided the novels into subcatergories, so to speak, within the collection. He first placed P猫re Goriot into "Sc猫nes de la vie parisienne" [Scenes of Life in Paris, one translation says], but later moved it, perhaps more aptly I would agree into, "Sc猫nes de la vie priv茅e" [Scenes of private life]. Above all, this is a personal novel about Goriot and his daughters, in true Lear fashion.

Goriot is an old man, the butt of many jokes, mocked and ridiculed, and misunderstood. He appears to be obsessed with two young and beautiful women who walk in the high social classes of Parisian life, but of course, they are his daughters. Where they are rich, finely-dressed, respected members of society, Goriot lives in the dilapidated boarding-house with no curtains over his windows. His obsessive love for them has led him to financial and personal ruin. In a Paris that is drawn by Balzac as caring only for money, status, Goriot stands alone. Rastignac attempts to enter the social-circles of Paris to win one of Goriot's daughters and all the while the mysterious Vautrin lurks on the fringe.

Vautrin's character was one of the highlights of the novel and his long monologue to Rastignac in the second part, "Entry on the Social Scene" was the best part of the novel. Being a French realist work, similar to that of Les Mis茅rables (I'll come back to this point in a moment), I actually found Balzac's work better, at times. Vaurtin's speech is brilliant. I wish I could transcribe the lot.
'Fifty thousand young men in the same position as you are all trying to solve the problem of how to get rich quick. You are just one of all that number. Imagine the efforts that will demand and how bitter the struggle will be. You'll have to devour each other like crabs in a pot, since there aren't fifty thousand jobs going. Do you know the way to get on here? Through brilliant intelligence or skilful corruption. Either plough into the mass of mankind like a cannonball, or infiltrate them like a plague. It's no good being honest. Men yield to the power of intelligence, though they hate it and try to decry it, because it takes but does not share. But they yield if it is persistent. In a word they kneel before it in worship once they have failed to bury it in mud. Corruption thrives, talent is rare, so corruption is the weapon of mediocre majority, and you will feel it pricking you wherever you go. You will see women whose husbands earn sixty thousand francs all told spending more than ten thousand on clothes. You will see clerks on twelve hundred a year buying land. You will see women selling themselves so that they can ride in a carriage with the son of a peer of the realm and go bowling off to Longchamp down the middle of the road. You have seen that poor old ninny P猫re Goriot obliged to pay off the bill of exchange endorsed by his daughter, whose husband has an income of fifty thousand a year. I defy you to go two steps in Paris without running across some diabolical fiddle.'

description
"Le Pont des Arts"鈥�1867

Eventually the novel comes around to Goriot, and we see his misfortune played out, or, his sacrifice. His selflessness almost appears ridiculous. The final chapter is quite slow, after the climax of Vautrin's role in the narrative. Which is where, I would like to mention something else. I want to avoid using the dreaded spoiler-tag, but I do think there are huge similarities between this novel and Hugo's Les Mis茅rables. I'll keep it fairly vague but Goriot reminded me slightly of Jean Valjean when he is the subject of great intrigue for a town, walking around, the mysterious old man, with seemingly a lot of money. And Vautrin is an ex-convict, just like Jean Valjean, and there is a scene in the middle of P猫re Goriot that is so similar to a scene in Les Mis茅rables that I was getting my wires crossed. P猫re Goriot was published thirty years prior and Jean Valjean seemed to me like a combination of both Goriot's and Vautrin's character.

I will read more Balzac in the coming years. If I could have a whole novel of Vautrin's speeches then I would probably read it. Brilliant. I cared less about the sentimentality of Goriot, but that's because I'm an unromantic cynic myself. It can't be helped.

Another of the great books written by Balzac with one of his favourite characters, the ambitious Rastignac and the mega-villain Vautrin (who would give the Joker a run for his money!) is a page turner. It was also an inspiration to Mario Puzo when he wrote The Godfather. Like Illusions Perdues, it is a bildungsroman where Rastignac rises to power (and later as an old man becomes the protagonist of Le Peau de Chagrin). One of the high points of 19th C French literature, this book is a fascinating and fun read not to be missed!
