Product Description

Quatrième de couverture

La France de Napoléon III vue par Zola : " A cette heure, Paris offrait, pour un homme comme Aristide Saccard, le plus intéressant des spectacles. L'Empire venait d'être proclamé... Le silence s'était fait à la tribune et dans les journaux. La société, sauvée encore une fois, se félicitait, se reposait, faisait la grasse matinée, maintenant qu'un gouvernement fort la protégeait et lui ôtait jusqu'au souci de penser et de régler ses affaires. La grande préoccupation de la société était de savoir à quels amusements elle allait tuer le temps. Selon l'heureuse expression d'Eugène Rougon, Paris se mettait à table et rêvait gaudriole au dessert... L'Empire allait faire de Paris le mauvais lieu de l'Europe. "

5.0 out of 5 stars J'accuse, Jun 24 2000

By	"jerrmel" (New York) - See all my reviews

A great book full of heartwrenching mellodrama. Greed and incest rear their ugly heads before the backdrop of Haussman's transformation of Paris in the mid 19th century. There is hardly a dull moment in this masterpiece. I have yet to read more of Zola, but you can bet I've got two other books by him waiting on my shelf. The story follows an opportunistic provincial descendant of the Roujon family as he makes his fortune in Paris. He heartlessly leaves his first wife to die as he makes arrangements for his second marriage- to a wealthy young woman half his age. Renee's spirit, already dimmed by a savage rape by a family member is only tarnished all the more in her extravagant new lifestyle under the negligent eye of the specuating schemester, Rougon. She falls madly in love with her efeminate stepson and seals her ruin which concides with the burst of the speculative bubble in Paris real estate. This review was based on the original French text
