«El tío Goriot» is Honoré de Balzac's realist novel, published in 2009 by Alianza in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
In nineteenth-century Paris, Eugène de Rastignac, a young student lodging in a boarding house, meets the elderly Goriot, a father devoted to his daughters. Through his relationships, he discovers a society ruled by money, ambition and social ascent; the novel thus portrays corruption, hypocrisy and the lack of love in a ruthless world.
It belongs to Alianza Editorial's 13/20 series; the edition is from 2009 and consists of 352 pages.
Aimed at readers of classic fiction and those who appreciate portrayals of nineteenth-century European society.
Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, described as a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.
