It is the story of an old, lonely collector who is besieged by relatives eager to take over his collection. Balzac shows how greed destroys a person, while sensitivity and passion prove defenseless. In this edition, the title retains its original form, \u201cThe Pons Cousins\u201d; in later translations, including that by Boy-\u017bele\u0144ski, the title \u201cCousin Pons\u201d became established.
