Cousin Pons / Old Goriot
Cousin Pons: Pons, a mild-mannered old man, is treated with spiteful contempt by his wealthy relations, who want to swindle him when they discover that his collection of art and antiques is worth a fortune.
A classic example of the French realist novel, which contrasts the social progress of an impoverished but ambitious aristocrat with the tale of a father, whose obsessive love for his daughters leads to his personal and financial ruin.
Honoré de Balzac, Katherine Prescott Wormeley, 2005
When he finds a place to stay at a shabby boarding house, he sees a potential plan to make a fortune: the two beautiful, aristocratic women who mysteriously come at night to visit the lonely old lodger Goriot.
Weaving a compelling and panoramic story of love, money, self-sacrifice, corruption, greed and ambition, Old Man Goriot is Balzac's acknowledged masterpiece.
The novel takes place during the Bourbon Restoration, which brought about profound changes in French society; the struggle of individuals to secure upper-class status is ubiquitous in the book.
