Summary
Honore de Balzac: Evgenija Grande
Evgenija Grande's novel is a story that follows the main character from her youth to the end of her life. Although it belongs to Scenes from a provincial life, this novel is not a typical "woman's story", but a human, universal story about the struggle between a pure heart, honesty, humanity and an uncontrolled passion for money, fame, position in society.
Perhaps at first glance, Evgenia's life seems tragic, even when we do not find her eager for love. Nevertheless, she is a winner in her own way, sending the message that we can find true happiness within ourselves.
