	[No title]
		Grandet was absorbed in the long letter which he held in his hand; and to read it he had taken the only candle upon the card-table, paying no heed to his guests or their pleasure.
		Eugenie, her mother, and Nanon went into the kitchen, moved by irresistible curiosity to watch the two actors in the scene which was about to take place in the garden, where at first the uncle walked silently ahead of the nephew.
		Grandet was not at all troubled at having to tell Charles of the death of his father; but he did feel a sort of compassion in knowing him to be without a penny, and he sought for some phrase or formula by which to soften the communication of that cruel truth.

	Eugenie Grandet by Honore de Balzac : Arthur's Classic Novels
		The oldest inhabitants, wiser than their fellows, declared that the Grandets knew better than to let the property go out of the family, and that Mademoiselle Eugenie Grandet of Saumur would be married to the son of Monsieur Grandet of Paris, a wealthy wholesale wine- merchant.
		Grandet took the candle, leaving his wife, daughter, and servant without any other light than that from the hearth, where the flames were lively, and went into the bakehouse to fetch planks, nails, and tools.
		Eugenie listened, without knowing that she approached the most solemn moment of her whole life, and that the notary was about to bring down upon her head a paternal and supreme sentence.

		Madame Grandet and her daughter, Eugenie, suffer like saints in this condition, ignorant of any other sort of lifestyle, at least until cousin Charles Grandet of Paris appears at the door one day, a dandy whose finery and extravagance shocks the elder Grandet and bewitches the deprived Eugenie.
		But to make from Eugénie Grandet a true classic it certainly misses depth.4Short concise character study with a twistBalzac's style and economy of words indeed does seem "modern" as so many literary critics have pointed out, despite the fact that many of his short pieces were small studies in 19th Century French life.
		Eugenie's father's obsession was wealth, the effects on his family were a consequence of his greed, not due to his conscious demeaning sarcasm.

	Eugenie Grandet (Classics S.) : Reviews, Prices, Deals
		We meet Grandet, the shrewd miser (who would probably be much admired in todays society), his submissive, long suffering wife and their only child, the saintly Eugenie.
		The main themes in the story are the conflicts between love and money, worldliness and religion, selfishness and altruism, as Eugenie's love for her cousin causes major fissures within the predictable confines of her small family and the rural community in which she lives.
		Eugenie bears her suffering and loneliness with stoicism and dignity and Balzac's portrait of her becomes a memorable one as the novel reaches its conclusion.

		Eugenie had seen in the furtive glance that she cast about the young man's room--that girlish glance which sees all in the twinkling of an eye--the pretty trifles of his dressing-case, his scissors, his razors embossed with gold.
		Eugenie drew her stitches with a uniform motion which revealed to an observer the teeming thoughts of her meditation.

	Book Review for Eugenie
		I really disliked Monsieur Grandet, he was a very hurtful and secluded man. Eugenie Grandet was a sweet individual but I feel that she could have done something to fight off the shackles that her father had bound her with.
		Eugenie is their daughter, a young girl who has lived a sheltered life, not knowing what the world has to offer.
		Eugenie is betrayed by Charles, and Madame Grandet is neglected by her husband.

	Eugenie Grandet (Penguin Classics) : Berichte, Bewertungen, Informationen, Preise
		Balzac gives us realism but his realism is filled with warmth, the compassion the characters sometimes lack is being compensated by the readers compassion.
		No matter what state of convenience or inconvenience you may happen to live in today, it is impossible to read the sad story of this lonely, unknowingly wealthy girl, and not consider yourself pampered and intellectually lazy.
		Comparing Eugenie's state of spartan existence to my own access to the over-abundance of goods around me (in my surrounding neighborhood alone), I found a new awareness of my need to consume and the desire to strip my own need to succeed down to a need to enjoy.

	Eugenie Grandet, by Honore de Balzac
		In the morning Monsieur Grandet, following his usual custom on the days that commemorated the birth and the fete of Eugenie, went to her bedside and solemnly presented her with his paternal gift,—which for the last thirteen years had consisted regularly of a curious gold-piece.
		At the moment when Madame Grandet had won a loto of sixteen sous,—the largest ever pooled in that house,—and while la Grande Nanon was laughing with delight as she watched madame pocketing her riches, the knocker resounded on the house-door with such a noise that the women all jumped in their chairs.
		Eugenie learned at that moment that the woman who loves must be able to hide her feelings.

		Eugenie Grandet, his spare, classical story of a girl whose life is blighted by her father's hysterical greed, goes a long way to justifying that opinion.
		One of the most magnificent of his tales of early nineteenth-century French provincial life, this novel is the work of a writer on whom nothing was lost, and who represents most fully the ability of the human animal to understand and illuminate its own condition.
		What is marvelous with Balzac it is his ability to make some of his characters sympathetic even if they are bad (for example Eugenie's father is really a bad man but his passion for money has some emotionnal aspects and the reader can't hate him definitively).

	Eugénie Grandet - Balzac Honoré de
		Considerato da molti il capolavoro di Balzac, "Eugénie Grandet" presenta due figure tra le più straordinarie della letteratura francese: Félix Grandet, commerciante ricchissimo, prigioniero della propria smisurata avarizia, e la figlia Eugénie, d'animo nobile e sensibile, prigioniera di un sogno d'amore.
		Due ritratti indimenticabili, tratteggiati con vigore e grande maestria psicologica, che si fronteggiano in un dramma di "ordinaria famiglia".
		Nulla può distrarli dal perseguimento del proprio credo, dalla fatale attuazione del proprio destino: nella scena memorabile della morte del vecchio Grandet, l'ultimo "gesto spaventoso" è quello per afferrare il crocifisso dorato che il parroco gli porge, "e quest'ultimo sforzo gli costò la vita".
