Publisher Description

Un padre despreciado por las hijas que ama. El hecho de que el inquilino en la casa de huespedes de Vauquer, Goriot tenga todo el aspecto de un hombre pobre y abandonado por la fortuna no le impide alardear de que sus dos hijas son, respectivamente una duquesa y una baronesa. El padre las ama, pero las hijas que han subido de posicion social lo ignoran y hasta lo desprecian. A partir de esos ejemplares humanos, el gran novelista frances Balzac crea todo un mundo de codicia y de crimen pero con esos momentos de ternura que solo la mano maestra de Balzac es capaz de invocar. Esta obra, una de las que componen su Comedia humana es considerada como una de las grandes novelas de todos lo tiempos.

"Jei žmogaus širdis kartais sustoja pailseti kopdama i biciulystes aukštybe, tai retai kada tesustoja leisdamasi staigia neapykantos pakalne.Pagal tušciagalviu žmoniu logika- tas, kas nekalba apie savo reikalus, matyt, daro ka nors bloga. "

    " I read this as research for my novel, My Phantom: The Memoir of Christine Daaé. Balzac is a wonderful writer and his Pere Goriot helped me a lot. "

    " I hadn't read any Balzac before, and I did enjoy this novel. I got the sparknotes to read along with it and that helped understand Balzac and his writing more. I started to read Balzac's "Cousin Bette" but got too lazy and rented the mini series (BBC) with Helen Mirren instead. "
