De Balzac Honore: 586 books

This is a magnum-opus and one of the most widely read novels written by Balzac. It is a story of a young and eager man Rastignac who is determined to succeed at any cost. The novel contains deep sense of family values where a father sacrifices his all means for his two daughters. Moreover Balzac's portrayal of Parisian aristocracy and human behaviour is conspicuous. Worth-read!

Set in Paris, Cousin Bette tells the story of an unmarried middle-aged woman who plots the destruction of her extended family.  As in many of Balzac’s novels, its characters represent polarities of contrasting morality. Critics hailed the book as a turning point in the author’s art—a prototypical naturalist text.  Written in only two months, it is Balzac's last great work.
