A Start in Life

When young Rastignac arrives in Paris with dreams of social climbing, he quickly realizes that success is not easy to achieve. Balzac's incisive portrait of a corrupt and stratified society is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century. A Start in Life is a gripping tale of ambition and morality that will resonate with readers of all ages.
