HONORÉ DE BALZAC: PÈRE GORIOT

Coordinators: Sheryl Harawitz, Tatyana Chernomaz, Andrea Irvine, Ellen Shapiro

Balzac’s Père Goriot captures the birth of modern life – a world driven by ambition, wealth, and self-invention.

His insight into power, desire, and social climbing feels uncannily current. Reading Balzac is like seeing the blueprint of every novel that followed, and recognizing ourselves within it: calculating, yearning, endlessly adapting.
