Synopsis "Eugenia Grandet (in Spanish)"

Eugenia Grandet es considerada por algunos como la mejor obra de Balzac en la que trata dos temas importantes, por un lado la avaricia representada tanto por el señor Félix Grandet, padre de Eugenia, como por dos notables, el señor Dess Grassins y el señor Cruchot que pretenden emparentar con la familia por medio de Eugenia, pero solo por las riquezas del padre. La otra temática es la del amor, el amor, representado en su forma más pura, por Eugenia, la cual aun viviendo en un mundo material, todo lo que hace y piensa está dirigido por su espíritu, que es capaz de regalar todo lo posee por amor, Eugenia se convierte en una persona generosa, ayudando a los pobres y haciendo obras de beneficencia.

Honoré de Balzac (1799-1851), novelist, playwright, literary and art critic, essayist, journalist, and French printer, is considered one of the great writers of realism. Born in Tours, in 1814 he moved to Paris, where he studied law and began working in a law firm, but his love for literature drove him to abandon his career and dedicate himself to writing. He undertook several businesses, which ended in failure and left him in debt. With The Last Chouan (1829), he achieved great success. From then on, he began a feverish activity, writing, among others, The Physiology of Marriage (1829) and The Wild Ass's Skin (1831), with which he began to consolidate his prestige. In 1834, Balzac, a tireless worker, conceived the idea of making an exhaustive portrait of French society of his time by having the same characters appear in different stories, which began to give his work a unitary sense under the title of The Human Comedy, to which belong titles such as Eugénie Grandet (1833), Father Goriot (1835), Splendors and Miseries of Courtesans (1838-1847) or Cousin Bette (1846), although of the 137 novels that were to make it up, fifty remained incomplete. An extraordinary writer, capable of deploying in his works sublime reflections and ideas, creating an interesting story with strong social criticism through exquisite prose of great poetic level and philosophical depth, Balzac is considered the founder of the modern novel.
