Summary: This is seldom more evident than in Eugenie Grandet, one og the eraliest and finest of his great work. The love of money and passionate pursuit of it are seen as a driving force in post-Revolutionary France, and are studied in detail in the character of Grandet. In a house in provincial Saumur lives the miser grandet with his and his wife and his daughter, Eugenie, who both suffer under the stifling shadow of his obsession with gold. But the arrival of the cousin, Charles, causes Eugenie's own desires to burn. The inevitable collision with her father, and the tragedy which follows, is described by Balzac with irony and characteristic psychological insight.
