Eugenie Grandet
Encyclopedia : E : EU : EUG : Eugenie Grandet
Eugénie Grandet (1833) is a novel by Honoré de Balzac about miserliness, and how it is bequeathed from the father to the daughter, Eugénie, through her unsatisfying love attachment with her cousin. As is usual with Balzac, all the characters in the novel are fully realized. Balzac conceived his grand project, The Human Comedy, while writing Eugénie Grandet and incorporated it into the Comedie by revising the names of some of the characters in the second edition.
Adaptation for cinema:
As Eugénie Grandet, 1993 by Jean-Daniel Verhaeghe; starring: Alexandra London (Eugénie Grandet), Jean Carmet (Father Grandet), Dominique Labourier (Mother Grandet), Claude Jade (Lucienne des Grassins).
