Émile Zola, página 5 de 35

Louis Roubien has much to be thankful for. Now an old man, the head of a large family, his many hard years of work on the land have transformed him from a peasant farmer into a prosperous and satisfied freeholder, distributing his largesse among his relatives and the local community. But with success has come hubris, and when the rains, hitherto a harbinger of plenty, come, and the banks of the River Garonne swell and burst, Roubien sees everything for which he has striven swept away by the raging waters of the flood. His livelihood taken from him in one fell blow, it remains to be seen whether Roubien will at least be left his life, and the lives of those he holds dear. The Flood, along with the complementary stories presented here, the celebrated Blood and Three Wars, is a fascinating example of Zola experimenting with surrealist styles, in a departure from the dark realism for which he is more commonly known. The eternal theme of man versus nature writ large, it is a timely reminder of our fragility and impermanence before the unyielding elements.

Francia, 1866: Étienne Lantier abofetea a su patrón y se queda sin empleo. Vagabundo y sin trabajo, halla nueva ocupación en las minas de carbón. Los rigores de la labor bajo tierra, las condiciones inhumanas, la injusticia, la crisis social, la revolucion y la huelga, la brutal represion, pero tambien el amor, son los protagonistas de Germinal, uno de los mas rotundos y vividos alegatos nunca escritos en favor de los explotados y los oprimidos. Emile Zola (1840-1902) es el maximo representante del naturalismo. Autor de una vasta obra que quiso retratar al detalle todas las facetas de la sociedad que le toco vivir, entre sus obras mas celebres cabe citar, ademas de Germinal, La taberna, Nana, El vientre de Paris o La bestia humana.

Présentation des conditions de vie des classes travailleuses à Paris, à travers le personnage de Gervaise Macquart, et de leurs problèmes dus à la misère et à l’alcoolisme.

" je voudrais, écrivait zola en préparant le rêve, faire un livre qu'on n'attend pas de moi. " un livre écrit " à l'ombre d'une cathédrale ", une sorte de livre mystique et légendaire d'intention analogue à celle de flaubert racontant " l'histoire de saint julien l'hospitalier, telle à peu près qu'on la trouve, sur un vitrail d'église, dans (son) pays. " mais l'intuition sociale de zola nous vaut une étonnante évocation néo-balzacienne des milieux et des métiers liés à la vie religieuse et, si la légende est durement ancrée dans la réalité, celle des conflits de classes et des amours impossibles, elle s'épanouit en pages somptueuses, le mariage, la mort de l'héroïne, qui sont comme un dernier flamboiement de l'imagination romantique.

Dans un décor de gares et de trains, se joue une histoire peu commune, faite d'amour et de haine. Un conducteur de train, Jacques Lantier, un homme en apparence calme et doux, souffre d'un terrible mal : il ne peut aimer sans avoir envie de tuer. Autre " bête humaine " : La Lison, sa locomotive à vapeur, qu'il entretient avec passion et qui va l'entraîner dans une effroyable catastrophe ferroviaire.

A short time before the book appeared M. Zola was interviewed upon the subject by his friend and biographer, Mr. Robert H. Sherard, to whom he spoke as follows:"Lourdes came to be written by mere accident. In 1891 I happened to be travelling for my pleasure, with my wife, in the Basque country and by the Pyrenees, and being in the neighbourhood of Lourdes, included it in my tour. I spent fifteen days there, and was greatly struck by what I saw, and it then occurred to me that there was material here for just the sort of novel that I like to writea novel in which great masses of men can be shown in motionun grand mouvement de foulea novel the subject of which stirred up my philosophical ideas...
