Franklin Library Edition. Genuine Leather Binding. The Franklin Library was a division of The Franklin Mint that produced fine collector edition books over three decades ending in the year 2000. For this reason all Franklin Library editions are now considered "out of print" and are no longer available for sale from the Franklin Mint.

CONDITION: Spanking new. No tear. No scratches. No shelf-wear.

Pere Goriot is a powerful novel about a devoted father who sacrifices everything for his ungrateful daughters while living in a shabby Paris boarding house filled with ambition intrigue and social climbing. Through the eyes of the young student Rastignac Balzac exposes the ruthless dynamics of class and the moral compromises required to succeed in a rapidly changing society. The story is both a personal tragedy and a sweeping critique of social ambition.
