Production notes: This ebook of Eugenie Grandet was published by Global Grey in 2018. This book has 188 pages in the PDF version, and was originally published in 1833. It is both a poignant portrayal of private life and a vigorous fictional document of its age. Eugenie's moving story is set against the backdrop of provincial oppression and the workings of the financial system in the aftermath of the French Revolution. Eugenie's emotional awakening, stimulated by her love for her cousin, brings her into direct conflict with her father, whose cunning and financial success are matched against her determination to rebel. The Grandet household, oppressed by the exacting miserliness of Grandet himself, is jerked violently out of routine by the sudden arrival of Eugenie's cousin Charles, recently orphaned and penniless.
