"Cousin Pons" is a story about the complex relationship between a rich, miserly Jeweler and his distant relative, the simple and self-interested François Pons. In this tangible depiction of Parisian society, Balzac explores the themes of money, morality, human weaknesses and relationships. The leading theme of the book is a psychological portrait of the main character, who for a long time experiences his miserable situation and seeks to find a way to climb the social ladder. Readers can contemplate how a person on the verge of poverty and decline lives and thinks, thanks to Balzac's vivid and vital descriptions."
