高老头（英文版）:
高老头(Father Goriot)简介：
Le Père Goriot (English: Father Goriot or Old Goriot) is an 1835 novel by French novelist and playwright Honoré de Balzac (1799–1850), included in the Scènes de la vie privée section of his novel sequence La Comédie humaine. Set in Paris in 1819, it follows the intertwined lives of three characters: the elderly doting Goriot; a mysterious criminal-in-hiding named Vautrin; and a naive law student named Eugène de Rastignac.
Originally published in serial form during the winter of 1834–35, Le Père Goriot is widely considered as Balzac-s most important novel.It marks the first serious use by the author of characters who had appeared in other books, a technique that distinguishes Balzac-s fiction and makes La Comédie humaine unique among bodies of work. The novel is also noted as an example of his realist style, using minute details to create character and subtext.
The novel takes place during the Bourbon Restoration, which brought about profound changes in French society; the struggle of individuals to secure upper-class status is ubiquitous in the book. The city of Paris also impresses itself on the characters – especially young Rastignac, who grew up in the provinces of southern France. Balzac analyzes, through Goriot and others, the nature of family and marriage, providing a pessimistic view of these institutions.
The novel was released to mixed reviews. Some critics praised the author for his complex characters and attention to detail; others condemned him for his many depictions of corruption and greed. A favorite of Balzac-s, the book quickly won widespread popularity and has often been adapted for film and the stage. It gave rise to the French-language expression "Rastignac", a social climber willing to use any means to better his situation.
《高老头》发表于1834年，是巴尔扎克最优秀的作品之一。这部作品在展示社会生活的广度和深度方面，在反映作家世界观的进步性和局限性方面，在表现《人间喜剧》的艺术成就和不足之处方面，都具有代表意义。其艺术风格最能代表巴尔扎克的特点。在这篇小说中，作者第一次使用他创造的“人物再现法”—让一个人物不仅在一部作品中出现，而且在以后的作品中连续不断地出现，它不仅使我们看到人物性格形成的不同阶段，而且使一系列作品构成一个整体，成为《人间喜剧》的有机部分。在此，一些主要人物如拉斯蒂涅、鲍赛昂子爵夫人、伏特冷纷纷登场亮相，《人间喜剧》拉开了序幕。
