Her sheltered life changes when her handsome cousin Charles arrives from Paris, and Eugénie falls deeply in love with him. Balzac uses the story to examine the destructive power of money and the conflict between generosity and greed. Eugénie's emotional sincerity stands in sharp contrast to the calculations of those around her, creating a powerful study of family relationships, social ambition and disappointed love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216355672403,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421090464083,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/eugenie-grandet-folio-society-59","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
