"Eugénie Grandet" is a classic novel by Honoré de Balzac, first published in 1833. The story is set in the provincial town of Saumur, France, and revolves around the life of the titular character, Eugénie Grandet, a young woman from a wealthy but miserly family. When her father, Félix Grandet, makes a fortune through shrewd business dealings, he hoards his wealth and refuses to spend any of it, even on his own family. Eugénie, however, is kind-hearted and longs for love and freedom. Her life takes a dramatic turn when her cousin Charles Grandet arrives from Paris, and a romance blossoms between them. Through vivid characterization and intricate plotlines, Balzac explores themes of wealth, greed, love, and betrayal, offering readers a compelling glimpse into the complexities of human nature and society in 19th-century France.
