This is the question that fills the minds of the inhabitants of Saumur, the setting for Eugnie Grandet (1833), one of the earliest and most famous novels in Balzacs Comdie humaine. The Grandet household, oppressed by the exacting miserliness of Grandet himself, is jerked violently out of routine
by the sudden arrival of Eugnies cousin Charles, recently orphaned and penniless. Eugnies 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.
Eugnies 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.
