Uncle Goriot is one of the most famous and important novels by Honoré de Balzac, published in 1835. It is part of his vast cycle The Human Comedy (La Comédie humaine), and is considered perhaps the most successful work in that cycle.
The novel itself is conceptually carried by a lucid comparison of Dalmatia and the Wild West: on a thematic level, cowboys are the mythical place of the childhood of the main character and her brother.
This work of great momentum and ambition follows numerous striking characters from Afghanistan to Paris and from San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos, and tells their touching and irresistible stories.

This short novel deserves to be called a classic. Its heroine, Holly Golightly, an eccentric young woman with a whimsical and unconventional demeanor, simply gets under the skin of the people around her and the readers of this novel.
