Comédie Humaine: Le Père Goriot
'Comédie Humaine: Le Père Goriot' Summary
Le Père Goriot est un roman d'Honoré de Balzac qui explore les bas-fonds de la société parisienne du XIXe siècle. L'histoire se concentre sur trois personnages principaux: le vieux Goriot, un père aimant qui se ruine pour ses filles, le mystérieux Vautrin, un criminel en cavale, et Eugène de Rastignac, un jeune homme ambitieux en quête de fortune et de réussite sociale. A travers leurs destins croisés, Balzac met en lumière les vices et les faiblesses de la société de son époque, la cupidité, l'ambition démesurée, la superficialité des relations humaines et la corruption qui gangrènent la haute société. Le Père Goriot est un roman poignant et réaliste qui interroge la nature humaine et les forces qui la façonnent.Book Details
