Pauline Quenu, the daughter of shopkeepers in the Parisian business district Les Halles (see The Fat and the Thin, aka The Belly of Paris), is taken in by relatives on the coast of Normandy following the death of her parents. There, Pauline - kind and open-minded - is confronted with a gout-plagued host, his avaricious wife, and their lazy son, a morbid hypochondriac, whom she is expected to marry. While the family takes advantage of Pauline, using up the inheritance her parents left to her, Pauline is gradually transformed into a dejected and resigned young woman. Death and accident soon hang over the small house on the Norman coast...

Este es el dossier, reunido y comentado por el propio Zola, de sus polémicos escritos relacionados con el caso Dreyfus, que culminaron con el archinombrado pero poco conocido Yo acuso. Cuando en 1894 se descubrio que alguien estaba traicionando al ejercito frances, un fraudulento consejo de guerra condeno a un oficial judio , el capitan Dreyfus. Indignado ante esta injusticia, Zola intervino con la unica arma de que dispone un intelectual...

Dice Emile Cioran: "Los malos deseos, los vicios, las pasiones dudosas y condenables, el gusto por el lujo, la envidia, la emulación siniestra, etc, son los que mueven a la sociedad, ¿qué digo?, los que hacen posible la existencia, la vida". Pues bien esta novela, paradigma del Naturalismo (corriente de pensamiento que se proponia analizar las naturalezas humanas), tiene como protagonistas a dos personajes que se dejan gobernar por eso que Cioran define como motores de la sociedad. Therese, victima de las circunstancias y obligada a llevar una vida matrimonial gris y aburrida con su primo enfermo, se encuentra con Laurent, hombre egoista y manipulador; y luego de que ambos cedan a los malos deseos deciden librarse del esposo para poder vivir su pasion sin ataduras. Claro que el verdadero drama comienza con el crimen, cuando Therese pasa de victima a victimaria. Novela sobre el amor, el deseo, el crimen y la culpa. Novela pues, sobre la vida. Quede el lector con este clasico, siempre actual, siempre necesario.

In his three short stories, For a Night of Love, Nantas, and Fasting, Emile Zola presents characters in search of fulfilment - romantic, religious, and financial. Read together, For a Night of Love is an extraordinary depiction of sexual mores. When the apparently angelic Therese commits murder, she offers sexual favours to a petty clerk if he will dispose of the body; the pregnant Flavie manipulates a neighbours interest in her dowry to arrange a shotgun wedding; churchgoing women find their hunger for Christianity unsatisfied by a vapid priest - these beautiful and poignant stories are united by the powerful themes of deception and dissatisfaction.

Le rêve is a simple tale of the orphan Angélique Marie (b. 1851), adopted by a couple of embroiderers, the Huberts, whose marriage is blighted by a childlessness which they attribute to a curse utter

Every Thursday evening she watches her domineering aunt, Madame Raquin, play dominoes... until one day her husband brings along an old friend, the alluring and athletic Laurent.

Nana is a novel by the French naturalist author Émile Zola. Completed in 1880, Nana is the ninth installment in the 20-volume Les Rougon-Macquart series, which was to tell "The Natural and Social History of a Family under the Second Empire."The novel was an immediate success. Le Voltaire, the French newspaper that was to publish it in installments from October 1879 on, had launched a gigantic advertising campaign, raising the curiosity of the reading public to a fever pitch. When Charpentier finally published Nana in book form in February 1880, the first edition of 55,000 copies was sold out in one day. Flaubert and Edmond de Goncourt were full of praise for Nana. On the other hand, a part of the non-reading public, spurred on by some critics, reacted to the book with outrage. While the novel is held up as a fine example of writing, it is not especially true to Zolas touted naturalist philosophy; instead, it is one of the most symbolically complex of his novels, setting it apart from the earthy "realism" of LAssommoir or the more brutal "realism" of La Terre (1887). However, it was a great deal more authentic than most contemporary novels about the demimonde.Nana is especially noted for the crowd scenes, of which there are many, in which Zola proves himself a master of capturing the incredible variety of people. Whereas in his other novels -- notably Germinal (1885) -- he gives the reader an amazingly complete picture of surroundings and the lives of characters, from the first scene we are to understand that this novel treads new ground.Flaubert summed up the novel in one perfect sentence:Nana tourne au mythe, sans cesser detre reelle.(Nana turns into myth, without ceasing to be real.)

QUESTO LIBRO E A LAYOUT FISSOCapolavoro del realismo francese, Teresa Raquin, scritto da Zola nel 1867, fu definito dallo stesso scrittore un romanzo-studio psicologico e fisiologico, per la complessita dei suoi personaggi.Una storia incredibilmente attuale di adulterio, tradimento, omicidio, doppio suicidio, il perfetto ritratto di tutto cio che conduce alla totale degradazione sociale:Ho scelto dei personaggi completamente sopraffatti dai nervi e dal sangue, privi di libero arbitrio, spinti ad agire nella vita dalla fatalita della carne. Teresa e Lorenzo sono degli animali travestiti da esseri umani: nientaltro. Ho cercato di seguire da vicino, in questi animali, il lavorio sordo della passione, la spinta dellistinto, le turbe cerebrali sopravvenute in seguito a una crisi nervosa.Il dramma interiore dei protagonisti, Teresa e Lorenzo, spinti dalla passione a un atto estremo, non si manifesta solo psicologicamente, con le loro angosce e le loro paure, ma anche fisicamente, con la ferita, inflitta a Lorenzo da Camillo prima di morire, che si rivela un indelebile marchio di CainoEmile Zola (1840-1902) fu uno scrittore francese i cui romanzi tra cui si ricorda il ciclo de Les Rougon-Macquart, histoire naturelle et sociale dune famille sous le Second Empire (1871-93) costituiscono un immenso affresco della societa del tempo, osservata con rigore scientifico e con una scrupolosa ricognizione storica, sociologica e linguistica.

QUESTO LIBRO E A LAYOUT FISSONoi ci amiamo, Monsignore. Lui vi avra certamente spiegato come cio sia potuto accadere; per quanto mi riguarda, me lo sono chiesto sovente, senza trovare risposta. Noi ci amiamo e se questo e un delitto, perdonatelo, perche e giunto da lontano, dagli alberi e dalle pietre medesime che ci circondavano. Quando ho scoperto di amarlo, era troppo tardi per poter reprimere quel sentimento.Emile Zola, il grande naturalista francese, prende momentaneo congedo dallanalisi dei mali della societa per regalarci una fiaba damore intrisa di misticismo popolare. Fiaba dai tenui colori pastello e dal realistico distacco del sogno evocato. La dolce e ingenua Angelique cresciuta allombra della cattedrale, dove la fede si nutre dellesempio eroico dei santi e il fervore cristiano ne e conseguenza immediata, dove il miracolo e parte integrante del mondo sogna il principe azzurro che verra a riscattarla dalle sue umili origini. Ma quando il sogno damore sembra avverarsi, le convenzioni sociali, insensibili alla purezza dei sentimenti, ostacolano questanelito di felicita. E ad Angelique non restera che affidarsi, fiduciosa, al miracolo.Emile Zola (1840 1902), giornalista e scrittore francese, e considerato il creatore del filone naturalistico. Tra le sue numerose opere: Teresa Raquin (1867) e il Ciclo dei Rougon Macquart

Émile Zolas "The Rougon-Macquart Cycle" is a monumental series of twenty novels that intricately explores the lives of the Rougon and Macquart families against the backdrop of the Second Empire in France. Using a naturalistic literary style, Zola meticulously intertwines social commentary with rich character development, vividly illuminating the influences of heredity and environment on humanity. Each novel within the cycle serves as a standalone narrative yet contributes to the overarching themes of deterministic philosophy, social class struggles, and the impact of industrialization on human life. Zola, a leading figure in the Naturalism movement, drew heavily from his own experiences and observations of contemporary society. His background as a journalist and a keen advocate for social reform deeply informed his writing. The Rougon-Macquart Cycle reflects Zolas commitment to portraying reality unflinchingly, allowing him to address prevailing social issues such as poverty, alcoholism, and the working classs plight, as well as the moral complexities of human behavior. This comprehensive collection is highly recommended for readers seeking a profound understanding of 19th-century French society, as well as for those fascinated by the psychological intricacies of human experiences. Zolas masterful prose and the cycles ambitious scope makes it an essential read for students and enthusiasts of literature, history, and social sciences alike.
