Eugénie Grandet is a novel by French writer Honoré de Balzac, published in 1833. The story is set in Saumur and narrates the life of Eugénie, a young woman oppressed by the greed of her father, Monsieur Grandet. The arrival of her cousin Charles, orphaned and penniless, awakens in her loving feelings that will confront her father and the social conventions of the time. The novel explores themes such as greed, love, oppression, and the struggle for individual freedom in a context of post-revolutionary France.
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.
