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.

Against the backdrop of political and legal corruption in Second Empire France, La Bête Humaine (1890) contrasts the technological advancements of the Machine Age with the primitive and timeless human impulse to possess through killing and to kill through possession. The lives of two railwaymen on the Paris-to-Le-Havre line are fatally entwined by their love for the same woman in this shocking account of brutal violence, greed, revenge, and repression.

La mort d'Olivier Bécaille suivi de Nantas, deux textes d'Emile Zola.

Ce recueil dresse la chronologie de l'Affaire et rappelle la férocité de cette lutte pour la vérité et la justice commencée le 25 novembre 1897 avec son premier article en faveur de Dreyfus, jusqu'à sa dernière lettre au président de la République le 22 décembre 1900. À cette date, Dreyfus n'a pas été réhabilité et Zola ne peut l'accepter.

El dinero cuenta la historia de Arístide Saccard, un emprendedor que decide fundar un banco utilizando el engaño y la especulación financiera para subvencionar unos dudosos proyectos en Oriente Medio. Movido por la avaricia, Saccard emprende unos cálculos y maquinaciones sin escrúpulos que pronto lo conducen a una especie de estafa piramidal, en cuyo entramado de expectativas y promesas de enriquecimiento rápido acaban enredados todos los personajes de la novela.

Perteneciente al ciclo de los Rougon-Macquart, La obra, la novela más autobiográfica de su autor, está inspirada en la relación del propio Zola con Cézanne. El pintor Claude Lantier intenta terminar un óleo de grandes dimensiones que represente la modernidad del Segundo Imperio, en los albores del movimiento impresionista. Su enfermiza obsesión se verá mezclada con el amor de Christine -la mujer que le sirve de modelo- y su difícil amistad con el novelista Sandoz.

Perhaps the most autobiographical of Zola's Rougon-Macquart cycle of novels, The Masterpiece is a hard, bleak, and raw portrait of unrecognized artistic genius. Claude Lantier, brother to Nana and son of Gervaise, is a struggling painter who dreams of conquering the Paris art scene with his revolutionary "open air" style of painting. Discouraged and mocked, Claude retreats to the countryside with a young woman from Clermont, with whom he has fallen in love, before returning to Paris, where he continues to experience rejection at every turn.

Dès sa parution, en 1856, le premier grand roman de Zola excède la réalité, le réalisme et même le naturalisme dont précisément "Thérèse Raquin" ouvre les portes. Il se hausse au fantastique sans quitter le clinique et c'est précisément ce qui empoigne l'auditeur d'aujourd'hui devant ce très noir tableau des passions humaines.

Orphaned with a substantial inheritance at the age of 10, Pauline Quenu is taken from Paris to live with her relatives, Monsieur and Madame Chanteau and their son Lazare, in the village of Bonneville on the wild Normandy coast. Her presence enlivens the household and Pauline is the only one who can ease Chanteau's gout-ridden agony. Her love of life contrasts with the insularity and pessimism that infects the family, especially Lazare, for whom she develops a devoted passion.

Abandoned by her lover and left to bring up their two children alone, Gervaise Macquart has to fight to earn an honest living. When she accepts the marriage proposal of Monsieur Coupeau, it seems as though she is on the path to a decent, respectable life at last. But with her husband's drinking and the unexpected appearance of a figure from her past, Gervaise's plans begin to unravel tragically.

When Étienne Lantier arrives in the town of Montsou in search of work, he is confronted by the brutal conditions endured by the coal miners: gruelling shifts, meagre wages and backbreaking labour. As Étienne immerses himself in the community, he takes it upon himself to become a voice for the labourers and a leader in their fight for justice. As tensions rise and a miners' strike begins to brew, Zola candidly depicts a devastating spiral into violence and despair.

Eines Nachmittags in der Vieruhrpause nahm mich der große Michu in einer Ecke des Hofes beiseite. Er zog eine ernste Miene, die mir eine gewisse Furcht einflößte; denn der große Michu war ein kräftiger Bursche mit riesigen Fäusten, den ich um alles in der Welt nicht zum Feinde hätte haben mögen. Emile Zola wurde am 2.4.1840 in Paris geboren. Sein italienischer Vater war Ingenieur, die Mutter war gebürtige Französin. 1843-1858 lebte er in Aix-en-Provence. Die Mutter zog Ende 1857 nach Paris und ließ Emile im Februar 1858 nachkommen.

Bereits im auslaufenden 19. Jahrhundert entstehen die ersten großen Kaufhäuser. Mit immer neuen Raffinessen werden die Käuferinnen verlockt und in einen süchtig machenden Konsumrausch versetzt. Der alteingesessene Fachhandel hat dem nichts entgegenzusetzen und sieht seinem unausweichlichen Untergang paralysiert ins Auge. Vor diesem penibel recherchierten Hintergrund inszeniert Emile Zola seine facettenreiche Liebesgeschichte zwischen der kleinen Verkäuferin Denise und dem allmächtigen Kaufhausmagnaten Mouret.
