Story
Ce récit écrit en 1829 sera placé, plus tard, par Balzac en ouverture de la Comédie humaine. On y retrouve la trame de ce que seront les romans la composant et l’on y croise déjà les héros des autres épisodes. Tout y préfigure la grande oeuvre de Balzac : les descriptions minutieuses, l’analyse profonde des sentiments, l’histoire dramatique. C’est, en ces quelques pages, une miniature parfaite de tout ce qui suivra.

"The possession of power, no matter how enormous, does not bring the knowledge how to use it."

Story
Balzac’s universally loved novel explores the great theme of money and its effect on the human character. Old Goriot is a lodger at Madame Vauquer’s Parisian boarding house. At first, his wealth inspires respect, but as his circumstances are reduced, he is gradually shunned. He moves into smaller and less desirable rooms in the house, and soon his only remaining visitors are two beautiful young women. The mystery as to who they are and what is happening to Goriot’s fortune involves several other boarders, including Rastignac, an ambitious youth who hopes to rise in society.

ne petite ville assoupie dans ses habitudes, un microcosme de l’ancienne France, une vieille fille riche, Marie-Victoire Cormon, qui hésite entre deux prétendants, le chevalier de Valois et l’ex-citoyen banquier du Bousquier. Le chevalier est vieux, coquet, sans un sou, fidèle aux bourbons. Du Bousquier est arriviste, libéral, au bord de la ruine mais encore à peu près présentable. Grave conflit, lutte de clans : la monarchie contre la révolution, l’ancien temps et sa noblesse contre la richesse acquise dans la tourmente révolutionnaire.

Story
Rastignac, resté seul, fit quelques pas vers le haut du cimetière et vit Paris tortueusement couché le long des deux rives de la Seine où commençaient à briller les lumières. Ses yeux s'attachèrent presque avidement entre la colonne Vendôme et le dôme des Invalides, là où vivait ce beau monde dans lequel il avait voulu pénétrer. Il lança sur cette ruche bourdonnante un regard qui semblait par avance pomper le miel, et dit ces mots grandioses : "À nous deux maintenant !"

In modern society writing a letter, on paper, is almost unheard of. We all scribble notes and reminders but very rarely compose our thoughts in lengthy prose for another person to read. In this volume our talented authors bring us a plethora of narratives that centre themselves on how vital a few lines are to characters navigating through the twists and turns of a story.

Les habitants de Saumur, plus au courant de la fortune du père Grandet, voient en sa fille Eugénie le plus beau parti de la ville et la courtisent donc ardemment.
