Emile Zola

The Fortune of the Rougons, originally published in 1871, is the first novel in Emile Zola's monumental twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart. The novel is partly an origin story, with a huge cast of characters swarming around - many of whom become the central figures of later novels in the series - and partly an account of the December 1851 coup d'etat that created the French Second Empire under Napoleon III as experienced in a large provincial town in southern France. The title refers not only to the "fortune" chased by protagonists Pierre and Felicite Rougon, but also to the fortunes of the various disparate family members Zola introduces, whose lives are of central importance to later books in the series.

The Masterpiece is the tragic story of Claude Lantier, an ambitious and talented young artist who has come from the provinces to conquer Paris but is conquered instead by the flaws of his own genius. Set in the 1860s and 1870s, it is the most autobiographical of the twenty novels in Zola's Rougon-Macquart series. It provides a unique insight into Zola's career as a writer and his relationship with Cezanne, a friend since their schooldays in Aix-en-Provence. It also presents a well-documented account of the turbulent Bohemian world in which the Impressionists came to prominence despite the conservatism of the Academy and the ridicule of the general public.

Excerpt from The Ladies' Paradise: A Realistic Novel Oh Look there, Jean, said she; and they stood still, nestling close to one another, all dressed in black, wearing the old mourning bought at their father's death. She, rather puny for her twenty years, was carrying a small parcel; on the other side. Her little brother, five years old, was clinging to her arm; while behind her, the big brother, a strapping youth of sixteen, was standing empty-handed.

Serge Mouret, the younger son of Francois Mouret, is ordained to the priesthood and appointed Cure of Les Artaud, a squalid village in Provence, to whose degenerate inhabitants he ministers. He has inherited the family taint of the Rougon-Macquarts, which in him takes the form of a morbid religious enthusiasm bordering on hysteria. Brain fever follows, and bodily recovery leaves the priest an amnesiac. Dr. Pascal Rougon, his uncle, hoping to save his reason, removes him from his accustomed surroundings and leaves him at the Paradou, the neglected demesne of a ruined mansion-house near Les Artaud, where he is nursed by Albine, niece of the caretaker. The Abbe falls in love with Albine, and, oblivious of his vows, breaks them...

Ce roman a une histoire qu'il n'est peut- tre pas inutile de conter. C' tait en 1867, aux temps difficiles de mes d buts. Il n'y avait pas chez moi du pain tous les jours. Or, dans un de ces moments de mis re noire, le directeur d'une petite feuille marseillaise: le Messager de Provence, tait venu me proposer une affaire, une id e lui, sur laquelle il comptait pour lancer son journal. Il s'agissait d' crire, sous ce titre: les Myst res de Marseille, un roman dont il devait fournir les l ments historiques, en fouillant lui-m me les greffes des tribunaux de Marseille et d'Aix, afin d'y copier les pi ces des grandes affaires locales, qui avaient passionn ces villes depuis cinquante ans. Cette id e de journaliste n' tait pas plus sotte qu'une autre, et le malheur a t sans doute qu'il ne f t pas tomb sur un fabricant de feuilletons, ayant le don des vastes machines romanesques.

In Pot-Bouille, Emile Zola hits back at the morality of social convention, laying bare the hypocrisy discovered by the young Octave Mouret in the course of his attempts at seduction. Evident in this is the jubilatory inclination on the part of this naturalist novelist to indulge in caricature, together with his sharp sense of irony.

Nana ist ein 1880 vom franz sischen Naturalisten mile Zola verfasster Roman. Er geh rt als neunter Titel zu dem mehrteiligen Gro werk der "Rougon-Macquart," die er als "histoire naturelle et sociale d'une famille sous le Second Empire" - Natur- und Sozialgeschichte einer Familie im Zweiten Kaiserreich - bezeichnet. Mit dem Roman wollte Zola den Verfall der Gesellschaft durch das promiskuitive Treiben der vornehmen Gesellschaft darstellen, das sich nicht nur auf die eigenen Kreise beschr nkt, sondern die Dirnen von der Stra e mit einbezieht, deren Verhalten sich von jenem der verheirateten Damen in nichts unterscheidet. Zola zeigte nicht nur die Verderbtheit und Dekadenz seiner Protagonistin, sondern auch die der oberen Gesellschaftsschicht. Die ehemalige Stra endirne gewinnt an gesellschaftlichem Ansehen - talentlos, daf r ber einen makellosen K rper verf gend - indem sie sich in der Rolle der "blonden Venus" auf der B hne nackt zur Schau stellt. Zola beschreibt das Publikum als aus einer Mischung bestehend aus dem literarischen Paris, der Finanzwelt, Journalisten und Schriftstellern, B rsenleuten, die eher von Damen der Halbwelt als anst ndigen Frauen begleitet wurden. Die M nner kommen in das Theater, weil sie die Kokotte Nana auf der B hne sehen wollten - schlie lich kennt fast jeder der Anwesenden sie bereits auf seine/ihre Weise. mile douard Charles Antoine Zola (1840-1902) war ein franz sischer Schriftsteller und Journalist.

Pascal, a physician in Plassans for 30 years, has spent his life cataloging and chronicling the lives of his family based on his theories of heredity. Pascal believes that everyone's physical and mental health and development can be classified based on the interplay between innateness (reproduction of characteristics based in difference) and heredity (reproduction based in similarity). Using his own family as a case study, Pascal classifies the 30 descendants of his grandmother Adela de Fouque (Tante Dide) based on this model. Pascal has developed a serum he hopes will cure hereditary and nervous diseases (including consumption) and improve if not prolong life.

Le r ve is a simple tale of the orphan Ang lique Marie (b. 1851), adopted by a couple of embroiderers, the Huberts, whose marriage is blighted by a childlessness which they attribute to a curse uttered by Mme Hubert's mother on her deathbed. Ang lique is enthralled by the tales of the saints and martyrs - particularly Saint Agnes and Saint George - as told in the Golden Legend of Jacobus de Voragine. Her dream is to be saved by a handsome prince and to live happily ever after, in the same way the virgin martyrs have their faiths tested on earth before being rescued and married to Jesus in heaven.
