\n\n\"\"Many consider Honor\u00e9 de Balzac the father of French, if not European, realism. He is best known for his complex, morally ambiguous characters who, when described in great detail, become very human, very real to his readers. The same holds true for the settings of his stories. Set in France in the post revolutionary era - otherwise known as the Restoration (1814-1830), beginning with the abdication of Napoleon I and the return to the throne of the Bourbon king, when nobles were reclaiming their fotrtunes while the poor suffered the consequences, and while the stark division between between the classes was again taking shape - Balzac's descriptions displayed a keen eye for observation and placed a critical mirror in front of the society trying to live through these transitions.\n\nHis life's work, the La Com\u00e9die Humaine<\/span>, is a multi-volume collection of novels and short stories, all interwoven, sharing characters and settings, and telling the tales of the Restoration from various viewpoints. In Le P\u00e8re Goriot<\/span>, we hear the story of a few characters, and we are especially touched by that of its title character, Le P\u00e8re Goriot, who is gradually ruined financially in order to support his two selfish, manipulative and dishonest daughters.\n\nIn order to save money, Le P\u00e8re Goriot<\/em> rents a room in a \"pension\", a boarding house. A snapshot of that rundown house in Paris is a great reflection of French society as a whole at that time. Balzac doesn't disappoint and opens his novel with a very detailed description of the \"Pension de Madame Vauquer.\"\n\nStrat\u00e9gies de lecture<\/span>:\n
