Story
Balzac’s universally loved novel explores the great theme of money and its effect on the human character. Old Goriot is a lodger at Madame Vauquer’s Parisian boarding house. At first, his wealth inspires respect, but as his circumstances are reduced, he is gradually shunned. He moves into smaller and less desirable rooms in the house, and soon his only remaining visitors are two beautiful young women. The mystery as to who they are and what is happening to Goriot’s fortune involves several other boarders, including Rastignac, an ambitious youth who hopes to rise in society.

Story
“Sonradan şark şiirinin ruhumda ışıması gibi birdenbire parlayan bir kadın kokusu aldım. Yanımda oturan kadına baktım ve gözlerimi bu eğlenceden de çok kamaştırdı; birdenbire tüm şenliğim o oldu. Daha önceki yaşamımı iyi anladıysanız, o anda kalbimden fışkıran duyguları da tahmin edebilirsiniz. Okşayabilmek için deliye döndüğüm bu ak ve yuvarlak omuzlara takıldı gözlerim; sanki ilk kez çıplak kalmış gibi hafifçe pembeleşmişlerdi. Pek edepli, adeta bir ruhu olan ve ışıkta ipekli bir kumaş gibi parlayan saten bir teni vardı bu omuzların. Dinlemek için çok iyi bir seçim.

In the brutal Prussian winter of 1807, Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte’s Grande Armée suffered massive losses to the Russians in the Battle of Eylau. Many thousands died. Young Colonel Chabert falls heroically, his actions having turned the tide of the battle, but he is buried anonymously on the battlefield in a mass grave.

Story
Honoré de Balzac é um mestre do romance francês, do qual abordou vários géneros, desde o romance filosófico com A obra-prima desconhecida até ao fantástico romance com "A Pele da Tristeza" ou o romance poético com "O Lírio no Vale". Acima de tudo, ele destacou-se na veia do realismo, nomeadamente com "Le Père Goriot" e "Eugénie Grandet", mas é um realismo visionário que transcende o poder da sua imaginação criativa.
