- Book Synopsis
- The tale of a mining community in 19th-century France, Zola's masterpiece of naturalistic fiction portrays the effects of backbreaking physical exertion, undertaken for starvation wages. When a young idealist instigates a strike, the stage is set for a brutal clash between labor and capital. Strikingly frank in its depictions of sex and violence, this 1885 novel is a cri de coeur for the working class.
- About The Author
- French novelist, playwright, and journalist Emile Zola (1840-1902) was a leading proponent of naturalism in fiction, as expressed in his monumental 20-novel series Les Rougon-Macquart. Nominated for the first and second Nobel Prizes in Literature, Zola also played a major role in the exoneration of the falsely accused officer at the center of the Dreyfus Affair; the headline of his open letter to the President of France, J'accuse...!, remains an international watchword for speaking truth to power.
