Description:
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, Balzacâe(tm)s portrayal of Parisian aristocracy and human behaviour is conspicuous. Worth-read!
