Coba jelasin Penerimaan dan warisan dari Père Goriot dong

Le Père Goriot secara luas dianggap sebagai novel esensial Balzac. Pengaruhnya terhadap sastra Prancis cukup besar, seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh pernyataan novelis Félicien Marceau: "Kita semua adalah anak-anak Le Père Goriot". Brooks mengacu pada "kesempurnaan bentuk, ekonomi sarana dan tujuan". Martin Kanes, sementara itu, dalam bukunya Le Pére Goriot: Anatomy of a Troubled World, menyebutnya sebagai "batu kunci Comédie humaine ". Ini adalah teks utama dari studi Anthony Pugh yang sangat banyak tentang Karakter Berulang Balzac, dan seluruh bab telah ditulis tentang detail Maison Vauquer. Karena telah menjadi novel yang begitu penting untuk studi sastra Prancis, Le Père Goriot telah diterjemahkan berkali-kali ke banyak bahasa. Jadi, kata penulis biografi Balzac Graham Robb, " Goriot adalah salah satu novel La Comédie humaine yang dapat dengan aman dibaca dalam bahasa Inggris apa adanya".
