Le Père Goriot est pensionnaire de la Maison Vauquer depuis six ans. Il dilapide sa fortune pour régler les dettes de ses filles, Anastasie de Restaud et Delphine de Nucingen, pourtant mariées à de riches partis. L'ambitieux Eugène de Rastignac, son voisin de chambrée, est un noble désargenté venu faire son droit à Paris. Quand il apprend la situation, il est ému par le vieil homme et décide de lui apporter son aide tout en profitant de ses relations et en séduisant sa fille Delphine. Ainsi, pourra- t-il conquérir la haute société parisienne.

Honoré de Balzac

Honoré de Balzac (born Honoré Balzac; 20 May 1799 – 18 August 1850) was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, described as a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus. Due to his keen observation of detail and unfiltered representation of society, Balzac is regarded as one of the founders of realism in European literature. He is renowned for his multi-faceted characters; even his lesser characters are complex, morally ambiguous and fully human. Inanimate objects are imbued with character as well; the city of Paris, a backdrop for much of his writing, takes on many human qualities. His writing influenced many famous writers, including the novelists Émile Zola, Charles Dickens, Marcel Proust, Gustave Flaubert, Henry James and Fyodor Dostoevsky, and filmmakers François Truffaut and Jacques Rivette. Many of Balzac's works have been made into films and his work has served as a framework for other writers. James called him "really the father of us all."
