Father Goriot. Novel by Honoré de Balzac. Translated by Sigurjón Björnsson.
Honoré de Balzac is undoubtedly one of the most important writers of the nineteenth century.
Many of the century's most famous authors, such as Flaubert, Dostoevsky, Dickens and others, considered him their mentor. Balzac's works are collectively known as La Comédie humaine and include no fewer than ninety novels and short stories.
The novel Father Goriot, first published in 1835, occupies a prominent place there. It deals with human emotions, virtues that become vices when taken to extremes, love, selflessness, greed, vanity, hatred and corruption, wealth and poverty.
Balzac discusses human life and society with an insight and intellectual acuity that few have emulated.
