An extract from Honore de Balzac's sweeping novel cycle The Human Comedy , Gobseck is a novella that recounts the social ascendancy of young Anastasie de Restaud. Born into a wealthy family, Anastasie marries into aristocracy, but soon grows weary of the arcane rituals of her new lifestyle—not to mention her lack of feelings toward her husband. Seeking passion, she makes several bold decisions and quickly finds herself on the road to ruin. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Reading this story you can see a lot of what it was that actually drew Marx and so many Marxist thinkers since to Balzac as a writer, as Gobseck is a lurid and fascinating character study of a moneylender/usurer and the mentality that comes with - the title character lives for nothing but to acquire more, rendering all the old nobility and the families of the restored kingdom mere pawns for the power of capital, willing to debase and dishonour themselves in any way rather than have their own real poverty revealed to the world.
Lots of links to other stories seemingly and in particular to Le Pere Goriot (which I've yet to get to); otherwise this is definitely one of the more complex texts I've read in French and the financial scheming would be hard enough for me to follow even in English so it was tricky here too. It's all worth it though for the writing and plot machinations which make this soar, particular highlights being Gobseck's speech in the early part of the story as well as the vivid vignette of his demise which lays bare his true nature as well as the grotesque excess and waste of his profession as a whole. Fantastic story. ( )
