Eugénie Grandet (1834) is a novel by Honoré de Balzac about miserliness, and how it is bequeathed from the father to the daughter, Eugénie , through her unsatisfying love attachment with her cousin. As is usual with Balzac, all the characters in the novel are fully realized. Balzac conceived the Comedie Humaine while writing Eugénie Grandet and incorporated it into the Comedie by revising the names of some of the characters in the second edition.
