A Plassans, berceau provençal de sa famille, tandis que le Second Empire est tombé depuis deux ans, Pascal Rougon vit auprès de sa nièce Clotilde qu'il a élevée et qu'il adore. Il travaille depuis trente ans sur l'hérédité, prenant comme champ d'étude sa propre famille dont il a constitué un arbre généalogique.

First published between 1870 and 1893, Émile Zola’s 20-book cycle chronicling four generations of the Rougon-Macquarts was a shocking exposé of the decadence, degradation and moral decay of 19th-century France. It included some of his greatest novels, among them his masterpiece, Germinal. These innovative, ambitious dramas, first broadcast on Radio 4 over 24 hours in 2015-16, are a radical reimagining of Zola’s classic series, introducing us to 104-year-old matriarch, Dide, imprisoned in an asylum in southern France.

Comme le confesse Émile Zola, critique d'art, ami d'enfance de Paul Cézanne, fervent défenseur de Manet, de Monet et des impressionnistes contre l'art académique,: " 'L'Œuvre' est un roman où mes souvenirs et mon cœur ont débordé". L'ouvrage suit une bande d'amis constituée autour d'un peintre et d'un écrivain. Ils fréquentent d'autres artistes, des sculpteurs, des architectes et des journalistes. L'auteur se met en scène dans le personnage de l'écrivain Pierre Sandoz, l'ami d'enfance de Claude Lantier, peintre génial mais maudit.

As tensions rise and a miners' strike begins to brew, Zola candidly depicts a devastating spiral into violence and despair.

Emile Zola, along with fellow novelists Honoré de Balzac and Gustave Flaubert, was an early realist in French literature. In novels such as Flaubert's Madame Bovary and Zola's Nana, sex and violence were examined with vivid clarity. These realists soon adopted the word naturalism to describe their writings.

Serge Mouret, ordonné prêtre à l'âge de vingt-cinq ans, choisit d'exercer son ministère dans le village des Artaud, à quelques kilomètres de Plassans, sa ville natale. Il voue un amour mystique pour la Vierge Marie, accompagné d’extases, de visions et de mortifications qui finissent par le rendre gravement malade. À deux doigts de mourir, il est confié par son oncle, le docteur Pascal, à Jeanbernat et à sa nièce Albine, qui vivent dans une propriété à l’abandon appelée Le Paradou.

Nana Coupeau is a beautiful woman, able to attract men of enormous wealth with the crook of her finger. Part-time prostitute, part-time actress, she makes her debut in a mediocre operetta The Blonde Venus at the bustling Paris World’s Fair of 1867. She can’t sing, act, or dance, yet she is stunning. Nana soon rockets through elite Parisian society, and, blinded by desire, men crawl to her feet, yielding to her every demand. Affections are manipulated, hearts are broken; fortunes are gutted and inheritances squandered.

After her lover abandons her and their two children, Gervaise marries a tin worker, Coupeau, who helps her rebuild her life. She starts her own business, and the two have a daughter, Anna (the protagonist of Zola's later novel Nana). But their happiness is short-lived as a freak accident leaves Coupeau seriously injured, beginning the family's fall into alcohol, desperation, and violence.

Novelist, journalist and literature’s greatest whistleblower, Émile Zola was one of the 19th century’s pre-eminent authors. He is renowned for his philosophy of naturalism, which informed his 20-volume Rougon-Macquart cycle, an epic family saga set during France’s Second Empire, and for his controversial intervention in the Dreyfus affair through his infamous protest letter, J’Accuse.

Aristide Rougon, known as Saccard, is a failed property speculator determined to make his way once more in Paris. Unscrupulous, seductive, and with unbounded ambition, he schemes and manipulates his way to power. Financial undertakings in the Middle East lead to the establishment of a powerful new bank and speculation on the stock market; Saccard meanwhile conducts his love life as energetically as he does his business, and his empire is seemingly unstoppable.

"Le sujet de Nana est celui-ci : Toute une société se ruant sur le cul. Une meute derrière une chienne, qui n'est pas en chaleur et qui se moque des chiens qui la suivent. Le poème des désirs du mâle, le grand levier qui remue le monde". Émile Zola.

Toute acquise à Napoléon III dans le passé, grâce aux intrigues politiques de la famille Rougon, la petite ville de Plassans est maintenant sous le contrôle des légitimistes.

"Mir ist erzählt worden", ergriff Faloise wieder das Wort, "daß Nana eine herrliche Stimme haben soll." "Die!?" rief der Direktor achselzuckend. "Die reinste Krähe! Nana hat andere Dinge, ei Donnerwetter! Ich hab' sie aufgestöbert, und das, was ich meine, ist ganz famos bei ihr vertreten, oder meine alte Spürnase ist nicht mehr wert als die des dümmsten Einfaltspinsels...
