"Hobsack" is a novel by the outstanding French writer Honore de Balzac, which tells the story of Mr. Jean-Estache Hobsack, a cruel and greedy moneylender who became a symbol of greed and criminal lasciviousness. The events take place in the sweaty Paris of the 19th century, where a wanted thief and a ruthless moneylender meet. The author raised important moral questions that leave the reader wondering: is it worth sacrificing one's happiness for profit, or can money be too much? "Hobsec" is a deep literary study of human nature and the power of money, which has an inexhaustible psychological and philosophical meaning.
