Honoré de Balzac is undoubtedly one of the best French novelists of the XIX century. The most important feature of his work is that he not only left behind a huge literary legacy, but also captured in it the history of the whole society. In his "Human Comedy", which includes about a hundred works, the talented master created a grandiose gallery of images - no less than two thousand representatives of different classes. Among them found a place and clever, powerful usurer Gobsek, who holds in his hands the fate of many brilliant Parisian aristocrats. He is a character in several of Balzac's novels and the story "Gobsek" (1830), which is presented in this book.
Hunter for money becomes and the hero of the published here philosophical novel "Shagreen skin" (1831). Through his story, the author expressed an important idea for himself: a man who betrayed his own ideals, loses the right to happiness and inevitably goes to ruin.
