Le Père Goriot est pensionnaire de la Maison Vauquer depuis six ans. Il dilapide sa fortune pour régler les dettes de ses filles, Anastasie de Restaud et Delphine de Nucingen, pourtant mariées à de riches partis. L’ambitieux Eugène de Rastignac, son voisin de chambrée, est un noble désargenté venu faire son droit à Paris.

Ainsi, pourra- t-il conquérir la haute société parisienne.

Enfin, tu l'as deviné, Nathalie, et peut-être vaut-il mieux que tu saches tout : oui, ma vie est dominée par un fantôme, il se dessine vaguement au moindre mot qui le provoque, il s'agite souvent de lui-même au-dessus de moi. J'ai d'imposants souvenirs ensevelis au fond de mon âme comme ces productions marines qui s'aperçoivent par les temps calmes, et que les flots de la tempête jettent par fragments sur la grève. Quoique le travail que nécessitent les idées pour être exprimées ait contenu ces anciennes émotions qui me font tant de mal quand elles se réveillent trop soudainement, s'il y avait dans cette confession des éclats qui se blessassent, souviens-toi que tu as menacé si je ne t'obéissais pas, ne me punis point donc de t'avoir obéi ? Je voudrais que ma confidence redoublât ta tendresse.(Classiques Francais)

'He's a total rock 'n' roller. There's a bit of Mario in all of us - well, maybe not Gary Neville - but the rest of us most definitely.' Noel Gallagher He may be football's latest superstar, but Mario Balotelli is just as famous off the pitch for his eccentricity and extraordinary antics. From the time he let off fireworks in his bathroom to the notorious bib incident, he's rarely out of the news. But in his secret diary*, as we follow Mario through one turbulent football season and the trail of mayhem he leaves in his wake, we discover that the headlines only tell half the story. Whether he's hiding Silvio Berlusconi in his basement, patrolling the streets of Manchester as a caped crusader or trying to be the first Premiership footballer to go to the moon, the truth is stranger, and much funnier, than we could have expected. *not the actual diary of Mario Balotelli
