By Honoré de Balzac
Dentro de esa catedral narrativa que es los angeles Comedia humana, l. a. novela Eugenia Grandet ocupa un lugar especial por los dos grandes caracteres que en ella crea Balzac: el de una joven que descubre por primera vez el amor y entrega como arras cuanto tiene para ayudar a su enamorado, y el de su padre, el tío Grandet, los angeles más acabada de las encarnaciones de avaro desde los angeles obra de ese título de Molière. El amor paternal será abolido por l. a. avaricia de un Grandet que, en el último momento de su vida, amenaza a su hija con pedirle cuentas de l. a. herencia cuando Eugenia llegue al otro mundo. Al lado de estos dos potentes retratos, Charles, el joven parisino criado entre el lujo y los angeles ociosidad, sólo sirve para poner de relieve l. a. realidad de los angeles vida cotidiana, l. a. potencia del amor de Eugenia y los extremos a que puede llegar l. a. avaricia. Eugenia Grandet, aunque forma parte de l. a. Comedia humana, es una capilla aislada de esa catedral narrativa: cerrada sobre sí misma, el acierto en el análisis de esos dos caracteres y los angeles descripción del medio social en que se desenvuelven l. a. han convertido en los angeles novela más conocida de Balzac.
