Uncle Goriot is one of the most famous and important novels by Honoré de Balzac, published in 1835. It is part of his vast cycle The Human Comedy (La Comédie humaine), and is considered perhaps the most successful work in that cycle.
The novel follows the declining Roman bourgeois family of Ardengo over the course of several days: widow Mariagrazia, lover Leo, son Michele, and daughter Carla – all trapped in apathy, lies, sexual manipulation, and moral indifference.
Zbirka od 41 kratke priče: likovi djeluju kao "automati" – mehanički, bezvoljno, nesposobni za autentičnu reakciju na životne probleme. Moderni čovjek otuđen, zarobljen u rutini, seksu, novcu i pasivnosti, bez volje ili osjećaja.
