L'Assommoir (1877) is the seventh novel in Émile Zola's twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart. Usually considered one of Zola's masterpieces, the novel-a harsh and uncompromising study of alcoholism and poverty in the working-class districts of Paris-was a huge commercial success and established Zola's fame and reputation throughout France and the world.

The Ladies' Paradise, originally Au Bonheur des Dames, is the eleventh novel of the famous Rougon-Macquart (1871-1893) series of twenty novels written by Émile Zola. It tells a rags-to-riches story about Denise Baudu, a poor young girl from the provinces, and Octave Mouret, the wealthy owner of the department store where Denise comes to work. The rise of the modern department store in late nineteenth-century Paris, the store as a symbol of capitalism of the modern city, and the bourgeois revolution tell us a fascinating story of love and ambition, while depicting a rich texture of Parisian society.

About the Author: Émile-Édouard-Charles-Antoine Zola (1840-1902) was a journalist, a novelist, a playwright, and a political activist. He was one of the most influential French novelists of the 19th century and the founder of the literary and theatrical school of naturalism. Zola was a major figure in the political liberalization of France. During his youth in the south of France, Zola befriended Paul Cézanne, his schoolmate and future renowned Post-Impressionist painter-best known for his incredibly varied painting style that influenced 20th century abstract art. Zola's first book, Contes à Ninon (Stories for Ninon), was a collection of short stories dedicated to his imaginary childhood love, Ninon. He published his debut novel in 1865, La Confession de Claude, an autobiographical work that chronicled a man falling in love with a sex worker. The book drew the attention of the public as well as of the police, and it was banned in the social circles, causing Zola to lose his job. Zola went on to write Thérèse Raquin (1867), his first major novel, which delves into intrigue, adultery, and murder; and the dark love story Madeleine Férat (1868), his last novel before he started his masterful Rougon-Macquart 20-novel series. Émile Zola's works include novels, dramas, poetry, and criticism, among which is his famous Les Rougon-Macquart (1871-1893), a cycle of twenty novels which depict various aspects of life and society, such as The Fortune of the Rougons (La Fortune des Rougon) originally published in 1871 and the first novel of the series; The Rush For The Spoil (La Curée), in 1872; The Conquest of Plassans (La Conquête de Plassans), in 1874; The Assommoir - The Prelude to Nana (L'Assommoir), in 1877, the seventh novel of the series, about the suffering of the Parisian working-class; Nana (1880), the ninth installment, which deals with prostitution; Piping Hot! (Pot-Bouille), in 1882, the tenth novel of the cycle and Zola's most sarcastic satire, which describes daily life in a newly constructed block of flats in late nineteenth-century Paris; The Ladies Paradise (1883), the eleventh novel (original title: Au Bonheur des Dames), which focuses on Octave Mouret, who, in Piping Hot!, meets Caroline Hédouin, the owner of a small silk shop; Germinal (1885), the thirteenth novel in the series, which depicts the mining industry and is considered by some as his masterpiece; and The Soil (La Terre), in 1887-all published by Adeptio Editions. Zola's open letter to French president Félix Faure, under the headline J'Accuse...!, published on the front page of the newspaper L'Aurore on January 13, 1898, charging various French officials with a "terrible miscarriage of justice," reopened the case of the Jewish army officer, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, who had been sentenced to Devil's Island. For that, Zola was himself sentenced to a year in prison but fled to England, returning one year later after Dreyfus' name had been cleared. Dreyfus was eventually reinstated as an officer and publicly decorated with the Legion of Honor.

Its main character is Jean Macquart, a farmer who after having lost his wife and land, has joined the army for the campaign of 1870.

This is a new edition of The Fortune of the Rougons, originally published in 1886 by Vizetelly & Co., of London, translated without abridgment. Part of Adeptio's Unforgettable Classic Series, this is not a facsimile reprint. Obvious typographical errors have been carefully corrected and the entire text has been reset and redesigned by Adeptio Editions to enhance readability, while respecting the original edition. The Fortune of the Rougons is the initial volume of the Rougon-Macquart series. Though it was by no means M. Zola's first essay in fiction, it was undoubtedly his first great bid for genuine literary fame, and the foundation of what must necessarily be regarded as his life-work. The story, set in the fictitious Provençal town of Plassans, tells the story of Silvère and Miette, two idealistic young supporters of the republican resistance to Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte's December 1851 coup d'état that created the French Second Empire. The idea of writing the "natural and social history of a family under the Second Empire," extending to a score of volumes, was doubtless suggested to M. Zola by Balzac's immortal Comedie Humaine. He was twenty-eight years of age when this idea first occurred to him; he was fifty-three when he at last sent the manuscript of his concluding volume, Dr. Pascal, to the press. He had spent five-and-twenty years in working out his scheme, persevering with it doggedly and stubbornly, whatever rebuffs he might encounter, whatever jeers and whatever insults might be directed against him by the ignorant, the prejudiced, and the hypocritical. Truth was on the march and nothing could stay it; even as, at the present hour, its march, if slow, none the less continues athwart another and a different crisis of the illustrious novelist's career.

The Fat and the Thin is a novel by the French author Emile Zola. Originally published in 1873 under the title Le Ventre de Paris (The Belly of Paris), the novel is set in the bustling marketplace of Les Halles in Paris. The story follows the lives of several characters, including Florent, a political prisoner who has escaped from exile in French Guiana; Lisa, a beautiful and ambitious fishmonger; and Claude Lantier, a struggling artist who becomes enamored with Lisa. As the novel progresses, the characters become entangled in a web of greed, jealousy, and political intrigue. Florent becomes involved in a plot to overthrow the government, while Lisa and Claude struggle to make their way in the cutthroat world of the marketplace. Meanwhile, Zola vividly portrays the sights, sounds, and smells of Les Halles, painting a vivid picture of life in 19th-century Paris.The Fat and the Thin is a powerful social commentary on the excesses of capitalism and the plight of the working class. Zola's vivid descriptions and complex characters make this novel a timeless classic of French literature.The deep-lying forests of seaweed, in which the mysterious life of the ocean slumbers, seemed at one haul of the nets to have yielded up all they contained. There were cod, keeling, whiting, flounders, plaice, dabs, and other sorts of common fish of a dingy grey with whitish splotches; there were conger-eels, huge serpent-like creatures, with small black eyes and muddy, bluish skins, so slimy that they still seemed to be gliding along, yet alive.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Avouant être totalement ignorant de l'affaire Dreyfus, hésitant à propos de sa légitimité à intervenir, Zola se décide en moins de quinze jours, entre le 13 et le 25 novembre 1897, en partie poussé à bout par les violentes attaques dont est victime Scheurer-Kestner dans la presse. Le 25 novembre 1897, Zola écrit un premier article d'une série de trois. Il le conclut par la phrase prophétique, restée célèbre: La vérité est en marche et rien ne l'arrêtera, qui va devenir le leitmotiv des Dreyfusards. Le véritable traître en lieu et place d'Alfred Dreyfus, le commandant Walsin Esterhazy, est dénoncé puis jugé par un Conseil de guerre à Paris le 10 janvier 1898. Il est acquitté le lendemain, à la suite d'un délibéré de trois minutes. Après la condamnation d'un innocent, c'est l'acquittement du coupable, ce qui amène Zola à la réaction. Elle fut extrêmement énergique.
