Product Description
"Focuses around the grasping Parisian society of the 1820s." *** "Goriot, a retired manufacturer of vermicelli, is a good man and a weak father. He has given away his money in order to ensure the marriage of his two daughters, Anastasie and Delphine. Because he cares for them, he has to accept all kinds of humiliations from his sons-in-law, one a 'gentilhomme, ' M. de Restaud, and the other a financier, M. de Nucingen. Both young women are ungrateful. They gradually abandon him. He dies without seeing them at his bedside, cared for only by young Rastignac, a law stduent who lives at the same boarding house, the pension Vauquer." Haydn. Thesaurus of Book Dig.
