A familiar formula we find in the first half of the French 19th century of Stendhal Dumas Hugo which I'm not tired of as such and I think Balzac manages to reframe the emphasis here to keep things interesting. There's a Lear and a Timon in his character. Always very stressed out by the 19th-century poverty novel where everybody is always pawning off their grandmother's prize jewellery and so forth

Kurslitteratur. Är det här kanske mallen för den realistiska romanen? Intressant skildring av social mobilitet, klassamhället och en förälders kärlek för sina barn. Bitvis kanske lite långtråkig och överdrivet detaljerad för en modern läsare som mig. Men jag uppskattade ändå historien och Balzacs sätt att skildra karaktärerna och alla deras egenheter.

Very depressing story. If you like to read depressing things you might like this book, but for me it was a chore to read.
