About this deal

Felix is suspicious about his uncle’s motives but is too shy to broach the subject with his uncle, even though he and we suspect that Uncle Costake is cheating him. Her step-father loves her but is too stingy and easily manipulated to truly be able to provide for her financially, which leaves her dependent on the older, wealthier Pascalopol.

The novel is a long one – over six hundred pages – and Călinescu tells a full and detailed story of the machinations of the various families, with virtually every family member having serious flaws.Because of this, she lashes out continuously at the youthful, beautiful, educated and desirable Otilia, either directly or by badmouthing her to anyone who will listen. Laser-Guided Karma: After all their machinations and efforts, the Tulea family doesn't get the bulk of Costache's fortune. The other members of the Giurgiuveanu family, as well as the Tulea clan, see Otilia as a threat and fear they might miss out on their inheritance because of her. Aglae seems interested in the future of the host’s daughter, in hope she will marry her with Titi, while Felix seems more and more ashamed of Georgeta’s behavior. In a moment of envy, Felix asks Otilia to stop communicating with Pascalopol, but, after being invited by him at his house, realizes the mistake he made in front of Otilia.

Green-Eyed Monster: Felix feels the sting of jealousy whenever he sees how close Otilia and Pascalopol are. Felix once accidentally met Pascalopol in a train (post war period), finding out he divorced Otilia, which is now married to a rich man in Buenos Aires. Like a romantic person that he is, he falls for it and trusts her, which is bringing him only disappointment because she has left him every time when she promised him otherwise. In the end, she gives up on her love for Felix and chooses to marry Pascalopol and run away with him to Paris. Supreme Chef: The only unanimously acclaimed skill that Aurica possesses is that she makes really good cakes.Costache becomes more and more scared of death, Stanica being a cause of it, thanks to his constant stories about tragedies. After his father's death, Felix comes to stay with his uncle, Costache, who turnes out to be a miser, and with Costache's step-daughter, Otilia with whom Felix eventually falls in love with. The pair are also invited, also a first time for Otilia, to his house in the country, where he grows exotic crops for sale to other parts of Europe.

He consults different doctors, follows a special treatment spending money on medicine and even inviting priests to holy house. If you enjoy Balzac or any bourgeois comic novels with complex plots, conniving characters and innocent young men abroad, then you will certainly enjoy this, one of the foremost Romanian novels. A large family and it's many generations vie for advantage, seeking to win the inheritance sure to be left behind by a wealthy older man of the clan.Their eldest daughter Olimpia scandalously had a child out of wedlock with an opportunistic moocher who blackmailed her parents for her dowry. Desfasurarea epica este lenta, conflictul este determinat de incercarile membrilor clanului Tulea de a pune mina pe averea lui Costache Giurgiuveanu. Pascalopol knows Otilia since she was a child, is old enough to be her father and admits to Felix that he is uncertain what is paternal and what is sexual in his affection for her.
