Presenting Old Goriot and Cousin Bette by Honoré de Balzac with illustrations by Nicholas Tamblyn and Katherine Eglund. These classics are part of The Great Books Series by Golding Books.

The classic translation of Old Goriot is by Ellen Marriage, and of Cousin Bette by James Waring .

Honoré de Balzac is a central figure of 19th Century literature and, internationally, he is arguably recognized as the leading figure of 19th Century French literature . Of his voluminous output, Balzac's classic novels Old Goriot and Cousin Bette are perhaps those for which he is best-known, and typify the classic French novel not just among 19th Century novels but any novels before and since. French literature and realist fiction have come to be synonymous with Balzac's La Comédie Humaine sequence, and there is no better place to start, when it comes to European literature and French fiction, than what are perhaps his most popular works and his greatest literary achievements.

Honoré de Balzac was born in Tours, France, in 1799. Conceived as a novel sequence after he had already written several novels, the panorama of post-Napoleonic French life known as La Comédie Humaine is considered to be his magnum opus. The interlinked novels and stories depict French life during the Restoration and the July Monarchy ; in their realism and variety they have influenced numerous writers then and since. His health having worsened for some time, Balzac died five months after his marriage to the Polish Countess Ewelina Hańska, his long-time correspondent, at the age of 51.
