'HIS MASTERPIECE, ' which in the original French bears the title of L'Oeuvre, is a strikingly accurate story of artistic life in Paris during the latter years of the Second Empire. Amusing at times, extremely pathetic and even painful at others, it not only contributes a necessary element to the Rougon-Macquart series of novels-a series illustrative of all phases of life in France within certain dates-but it also represents a particular period of M. Zola's own career and work. Some years, indeed, before the latter had made himself known at all widely as a novelist, he had acquired among Parisian painters and sculptors considerable notoriety as a revolutionary art critic, a fervent champion of that 'Open-air' school which came into being during the Second Empire, and which found its first real master in Edouard Manet, whose then derided works are regarded, in these later days, as masterpieces. Manet died before his genius was fully recognised; still he lived long enough to reap some measure of recognition and to see his influence triumph in more than one respect among his brother artists. Indeed, few if any painters left a stronger mark on the art of the second half of the nineteenth century than he did, even though the school, which he suggested rather than established, lapsed largely into mere impressionism-a term, by the way, which he himself coined already in 1858; for it is an error to attribute it-as is often done-to his friend and junior, Claude Monet

Then the water began an attack. Until then the stream had followed the street; but the debris that encumbered it deflected the course. And when a drifting object, a beam, came within reach of the current, it seized it and directed it against the house like a battering-ram. Soon ten, a dozen, beams were attacking us on all sides. The water roared. Our feet were spattered with foam. We heard the dull moaning of the house full of water. There were moments when the attacks became frenzied, when the beams battered fiercely; and then we thought that the end was near, that the walls would open and deliver us to the river.

L'action se situe à Rognes (Romilly-sur-Aigre), village de la Beauce. Le héros du roman est Jean Macquart, fils d'Antoine Macquart et de Joséphine Gévaudan, l'un des rares membres de la branche Macquart indemne de toute tare. Il apparaît déjà dans la Fortune des Rougon, où il apprend le métier de menuisier. Après avoir quitté Plassans, sa ville natale, il est tiré au sort en 1852 et participe aux campagnes militaires du Second Empire. Blessé en Italie, il reprend son métier de menuisier puis s'embauche comme ouvrier agricole à Rognes, où il reste pendant dix ans. Jean Macquart sera ensuite le héros de la Débâcle, on le retrouve encore dans le dernier roman du cycle, le Docteur Pascal. L'histoire, particulièrement atroce, se déroule au sein de la famille Fouan. Le vieux Louis Fouan, dit le père Fouan, décide à l'âge de 70 ans de partager ses biens entre ses trois enfants: Hyacinthe, dit Jésus-Christ, Fanny, mariée, et Buteau...

Thérèse Raquin tells the story of a young woman, unhappily married to her first cousin by an overbearing aunt who may seem to be well-intentioned but in many ways is deeply selfish. Thérèse's husband, Camille, is sickly and egocentric, and when the opportunity arises, Thérèse enters into a turbulent and sordidly passionate affair with one of Camille's friends, Laurent. In his preface, Zola explains that his goal in this novel was to "study temperaments and not characters".[1] Because of this detached and scientific approach, Thérèse Raquin is considered an example of naturalism.

Book This is a new edition of "The Soil (La Terre)," originally published in 1888 by Vizetelly & Co., of London, England. 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 Soil (La Terre) has around one hundred characters! Zola presents a realistic narrative of the poverty and cruelty of rural life in the late nineteenth century. The English translation brought such a clamor that Henry Vizetelly (the translator and publisher) was prosecuted and sentenced to three months incarceration. The Soil (La Terre) is considered one of Zola's masterpieces! The novel was a huge commercial success and helped establish Zola's fame and reputation throughout France and the world. 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.

Eugène Rougon est le fils aîné de Pierre et Félicité Rougon. Dans les romans La Fortune des Rougon, La Curée et La Conquête de Plassans, son ascension politique a été décrite indirectement: depuis Paris, la capitale, il a permis à ses parents de s'emparer du devant de la scène politique à Plassans, sa ville natale (La Fortune des Rougon) et à son frère, Aristide Saccard, de s'enrichir par la spéculation immobilière à Paris (La Curée); par l'intermédiaire de l'abbé Faujas, il a fait en sorte que Plassans repasse politiquement du côté du pouvoir en place (La Conquête de Plassans). Député des Deux-Sèvres sous la Deuxième République, il contribue au coup d'État du 2 décembre 1851 de Louis Napoléon Bonaparte, puis entre au Sénat. Au début de Son Excellence Eugène Rougon, il est président du Conseil d'État...

"THE FAT AND THE THIN," or, to use the French title, "Le Ventre de Paris," is a story of life in and around those vast Central Markets which form a distinctive feature of modern Paris. Even the reader who has never crossed the Channel must have heard of the Parisian Halles, for much has been written about them, not only in English books on the French metropolis, but also in English newspapers, magazines, and reviews; so that few, I fancy, will commence the perusal of the present volume without having, at all events, some knowledge of its subject matter. The Paris markets form such a world of their own, and teem at certain hours of the day and night with such exuberance of life, that it was only natural they should attract the attention of a novelist like M. Zola, who, to use his own words, delights "in any subject in which vast masses of people can be shown in motion." Mr. Sherard tells us[*] that the idea of "Le Ventre de Paris" first occurred to M. Zola in 1872, when he used continually to take his friend Paul Alexis for a ramble through the Halles. I have in my possession, however, an article written by M. Zola some five or six years before that time, and in this one can already detect the germ of the present work; just as the motif of another of M. Zola's novels, "La Joie de Vivre," can be traced to a short story written for a Russian review.

Dans la plaine rase, sous la nuit sans étoiles, d'une obscurité et d'une épaisseur d'encre, un homme suivait seul la grande route de Marchiennes à Montsou, dix kilomètres de pavé coupant tout droit, à travers les champs de betteraves. Devant lui, il ne voyait même pas le sol noir, et il n'avait la sensation de l'immense horizon plat que par les souffles du vent de mars, des rafales larges comme sur une mer, glacées d'avoir balayé des lieues de marais et de terres nues. Aucune ombre d'arbre ne tachait le ciel, le pavé se déroulait avec la rectitude d'une jetée, au milieu de l'embrun aveuglant des ténèbres.

The Miller's Daughter is a novel written by the French author Emile Zola. It tells the story of a young woman named Fran�����oise, the daughter of a miller, who is forced to leave her home and marry a wealthy landowner named Roubaud. Despite her initial reluctance, Fran�����oise soon finds herself falling in love with Roubaud and becoming caught up in his world of high society and political intrigue. However, as their relationship becomes more complicated and dangerous, Fran�����oise begins to question her own loyalties and the true nature of her feelings for Roubaud. Set against the backdrop of 19th century France, The Miller's Daughter is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the struggle for power and influence in a rapidly changing society.At dawn a clamor of voices shook the mill. Pere Merlier opened the door of Francoise's chamber. She went down into the courtyard, pale and very calm. But there she could not repress a shiver as she saw the corpse of a Prussian soldier stretched out on a cloak beside the well.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

texte intégral.Le moulin du père Merlier, par cette belle soirée d'été, était en grande fête. Dans la cour, on avait mis trois tables, placées bout à bout, et qui attendaient les convives. Tout le pays savait qu'on devait fiancer, ce jour-là, la fille Merlier, Françoise, avec Dominique. Un mois encore et leurs noces seraient célébrées. Hélas, à l'horizon, un sanglant orage se prépare. Car les Prussiens sont là, qui marchent tout droit vers le paisible moulin...

At last he was rid of his crime. He had killed Camille. It was a matter that was settled, and would be spoken of no more. He was now going to lead a tranquil existence, until he could take possession of Therese. The thought of the murder had at times half choked him, but now that it was accomplished, he felt a weight removed from his chest, and breathed at ease, cured of the suffering that hesitation and fear had given him.

Germinal (1885) es la decimotercera novela de los veinte volumenes que Emile Zola escribio dentro de la serie Les Rougon-Macquart. Se suele considerar que es una de las mejores novelas jamas escritas en frances. La novela es una dura y realista historia sobre una huelga de mineros en el norte de Francia en la decada de 1860. Ha sido publicada y traducida en mas de cien paises y ha servido para inspirar cinco adaptaciones cinematograficas y dos producciones de television. La historia se desarrolla en Francia, en un pueblo donde la vida gira en torno a las minas de carbon, lugar de donde la mayor parte de las familias obtienen sustento de estas; cada miembro de las familias que ahi trabajan se vuelve virtualmente esclavo de la mina, obteniendo salarios de miseria, desgastandose y corriendo el riesgo de no volver a casa en cada momento del dia. Hartos de esta situacion, habiendo incluido en su estilo de vida el hambre y la enfermedad, indispuestos a continuar con esta "vida" que al haber perdido ya toda esperanza habia dejado de serlo, se organizan para iniciar una huelga, pidiendo un aumento que les permitiera por lo menos salir un poco del estado de hambre en el que vivian. Emile Edouard Charles Antoine Zola, mas conocido como Emile Zola (Paris, Francia, 2 de abril de 1840 - ibidem, 29 de septiembre de 1902), fue un escritor frances, considerado el padre y el mayor representante del naturalismo. Tuvo un papel muy relevante en la revision del proceso de Alfred Dreyfus, que le costo el exilio de su pais."

Naïs a 20 ans. Fille de "megers" (personnes qui cultivent le bien et partagent la récolte avec les propriétaires), elle tente d'échapper à la violence de son père. Quand Frédéric, le fils des maîtres de la propriété, vient s'installer pour l'été, Naïs se prend à rêver... Frédéric n'est qu'un jeune étudiant insouciant, vivant au crochet de ses parents. Ses nuits à Aix en Provence, sont peuplées de salles de jeux et lieux de perdition. Naïs, elle, est volontaire, acharnée et bien décidée à prendre ses distances d'un foyer trop oppressant. De la rencontre de ces deux êtres si dissemblables, Émile Zola nous raconte la vie, comme il sait si bien le faire: tout en demi-teinte et nuances. Rien de trop gai ou trop triste, mais une réalité dans ce qu'elle peut revêtir de plus complexe. Les personnages sont peints et étudiés avec le soucis du détail, tout comme les paysages qui les entourent. Car ce roman est aussi un merveilleux hommage à la Provence: d'Aix en Provence à l'Estaque, en passant par les séances de prêche ou le travail dans une tuilerie, Zola nous offre un tableau éclatant des côtes méditerranéennes.
