About this audiobook

The young student Eugène de Rastignac arrives in Paris and takes a room in Madame Vauquer’s boarding house. Among his neighbours is Goriot, a retired merchant willing to sacrifice everything for his two daughters. Their lives reveal the hidden costs of fashionable society, while Vautrin offers Rastignac a troubling path to success. A central novel of The Human Comedy, Father Goriot links devoted paternal love with the education of an ambitious young man. Balzac examines a world where family loyalty, wealth and social standing cannot easily be separated.
