“Father Goriot” (1834–1835), Balzac’s most famous novel, central to his work, unfolds before us the drama of fatherhood and the story of boundless paternal love for self-centered and ungrateful daughters. It is called the French “King Lear.” Written in one breath over twenty-five days, as the author himself admitted, this novel with astonishing power lays bare the abysses of human passions, vices, and crimes; it shows the limitless power of money in French society of the Restoration era, the cold-blooded calculations and cruelty that prevent any seedlings of good feelings from breaking through. Most of the characters of “Father Goriot” move on to other novels of “The Human Comedy,” with storylines and themes set out here developing further.
