比《欧也妮·葛朗台》晚一年问世的长篇小说《高老头》(1834),虽同属巴尔扎克的以家庭框架为主线的第一时期的作品,但地点已经外地移向首都巴黎,家庭也已经从相对封闭型移向了跟社会变密切溶汇的开放型。同时,作为《人间喜剧》中第一部精心安排“串篇人物”的作品,《高老头》无论在展现《人间喜剧》的中心图画,或表现巴尔扎克的现实主义特征方面,都堪称是巴尔扎克的代表作。 The novel “The Old Man” (1834), which came out a year later than “Eugenie Grange,” is a part of Balzac’s first period family-based work but has been relocated to the capital In Paris, families have also moved from a relatively closed to an open model that has become more and more socially diverse. At the same time, as the first work in “Comedy” to arrange “serial characters”, the “old man” can be called as both a central picture of “human comedy” and the realist character of Balzac It is Balzac’s masterpiece.
