Description: "Who is going to marry Eugenie Grandet?" This is the question that fills the minds of the inhabitants of Saumur, the setting for Eugenie Grandet (1833), one of the earliest and most famous novels in Balzac's Comedie humaine. The Grandet household, oppressed by the exacting miserliness of Grandet himself, is jerked violently out of routine by the sudden arrival of Eugenie's cousin Charles, recently orphaned and penniless. Eugenie's emotional awakening, stimulated by her love for her cousin, brings her into direct conflict with her father, whose cunning and financial success are matched against her determination to rebel. Eugenie's moving story is set against the backdrop of provincial oppression, the vicissitudes of the wine trade, and the workings of the financial system in the aftermath of the French Revolution. It is both a poignant portrayal of private life and a vigorous fictional document of its age.Combined shippingCombined shipping available for multiple items purchased at the same time ShippingWe will guarantee professional shipping that will protect your items with high quality materials that include the following (based on the merchandise we are shipping and not limited to) - Heavy Duty Boxes, Protective Film, Bubble Wrap, Foam Cushions, Foam Blocks, Peanuts, Packing Paper, Bubble Mailers, Corner Guards, Double Boxing and etc. We guarantee that we will have your items shipped on time, and if for some reason your item is hung up somewhere or tracking is not updating for some reason, please feel free to reach out so we can find the answers together.
