From the publisher
From the rear cover
A young law student moves to Paris from southern France only to become enamored with life in the city, its abundance of wealth and lack of clear-cut morals. Rastignac lives in a boarding house owned by Madame Vauquer, a widow whose other tenants include the formerly wealthy Jean-Joachim Goriot and the hardened criminal known as Vautrin. Father Goriot is a story of desire and ambition set during the Bourbon Restoration, a time of widespread socioeconomic upheaval in nineteenth-century France.
