N2  - "Cousin Pons" by Honoré de Balzac is a novel published in 1847. It follows Sylvain Pons, a modest musician with two passions: collecting art and fine dining. When a matchmaking scheme for his wealthy cousins fails, Pons is cast out—but his relatives soon discover his art collection's immense value. What follows is a ruthless struggle as greedy figures circle the aging collector, each plotting to seize his treasures. This dark tale exposes the corrupting power of money and the vulnerability of those who cherish beauty over wealth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
