Pere Goriot is widely considered Balzac’s most important novel. This is the story of the relationship between a doting father and his two adult daughters. Blinded by his love for his children, Pere Goriot can not see their flaws and gives them everything they ask for even though the giving destroys him. A cautionary tale about the dangers of placing society and money before all else.
