«El tío Goriot» is the novel by Honoré de Balzac published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (343 pages, in Spanish).
In nineteenth-century French society, an old man sacrifices everything for his daughters, who end up abandoning him, while a young man tries to make his way in Parisian high society. The novel sharply portrays the ambition, greed, corruption, and lovelessness of a world obsessed with social climbing and wealth.
Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, described as a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.
