Eugénie Grandet by Honoré de Balzac (Paperback)

Eugénie Grandet, first published in 1833, is one of the earliest and best-known novels of Balzac's Comédie humaine, presented in an Oxford University Press edition. In the provincial town of Saumur, the household of miserly Monsieur Grandet is shaken when Eugénie's orphaned and penniless cousin Charles arrives. Her love for him awakens her and sets her against her cunning father, in a story of provincial life and the wine trade.
