  • A very worthwhile read.

    Set against the background of the poor Latin Quarter and the corrupt world of Parisian high society, in the early part of the 19th century, the story tells the coming of age of a poor law student and the dysfunctional family life of the eponymous protagonist. Balzac is easy to read and the themes he covers are as relevant in today's society as when he wrote the book.
