Reading Eugenie Grandet | Alexandria
Read Eugenie Grandet by Honore de Balzac. Exposing greed's stranglehold on the human soul, Balzac's masterpiece reveals how the worship of wealth destroys love, family, and meaning. A miser's obsession becomes a mirror reflecting our own materialism. Most shocking? The suggestion that hoarding breeds more emptiness than poverty - a warning eerily relevant in our age of excess.
