Description

Excerpt from Eugenie Grandet: And Other Stories Wx'rh Eugenie Grandet, as with one or two, but only one or two others of Balzac's works, we come to a case of Quit w'tuperawlt? Here, and perhaps here only, with Le Medecin de Campagne and Le Pere Goriot, though there may be carpers and depreciators, there are no open deniers of the merit of the work. The pathos of Eugenie, the mastery of Grandet, the success of the minor characters, espe cially Nanon, are universally recognized. The importance of the work has sometimes been slightly questioned even by those who admit its beauty: but this questioning can only support itself on the unavowed but frequently present convic tion or suspicion that a good or goody book must be a weak one. As a matter of fact, no book can be, or can be asked to be, better than perfect on its own scheme, and with its own conditions. And on its own scheme and with its own conditions Eugenie Grandet is very nearly perfect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
