Čiča Gorio

Čiča Gorio

Honore de Balzac

Uncle Goriot, a realist novel by Honoré de Balzac, part of the Human Comedy novel cycle. It is considered Balzac's most famous and most widely read novel and the greatest individual achievement within the Human Comedy cycle.

Honore de Balzac, one of the most famous French novelists of all time, also known as the most diligent, left behind a little less than twenty thousand pages and ninety one works with two thousand characters. Most of his novels are covered by the famous collective title Human Comedy, whose prologue is precisely the novel Čiča Goriot, Balzac's best-known and most-read novel, and also the first novel with which the author was satisfied and proud. Written in record time, "in forty days" during which the author did not sleep for more than eighty hours, the novel was, by all accounts, the fruit of unstoppable inspiration. The story of the old war profiteer Goriot and his daughters, who, after robbing him to the skin, leave him to die in the solitude and misery of the Vaquer guesthouse, is a story that can be read today on several levels.
