Au Bonheur des Dames (Les Rougon-Macquart, #11)

The thirteenth novel in Émile Zola’s great Rougon-Macquart sequence, Germinal expresses outrage at the exploitation of the many by the few, but also shows humanity’s capacity for compassion and hope.Etienne Lantier, an unemployed railway worker, is a clever but uneducated young man with a dangerous temper. Forced to take a back-breaking job at Le Voreux mine when he cannot get other work, he discovers that his fellow miners are ill, hungry, and in debt, unable to feed and clothe their families. When conditions in the mining community deteriorate even further, Lantier finds himself leading a strike that could mean starvation or salvation for all.•New translation• Includes introduction, suggestions for further reading, filmography, chronology, explanatory notes, and glossary

Germinal (Les Rougon-Macquart, #13)

Part of Emile Zola's multigenerational Rougon-Macquart saga, The Belly of Paris is the story of Florent Quenu, a wrongly accused man who escapes imprisonment on Devil's Island. Returning to his native Paris, Florent finds a city he barely recognizes, with its working classes displaced to make way for broad boulevards and bourgeois flats. Living with his brother's family in the newly rebuilt Les Halles market, Florent is soon caught up in a dangerous maelstrom of food and politics. Amid intrigue among the market's sellers—the fishmonger, the charcutiere, the fruit girl, and the cheese vendor—and the glorious culinary bounty of their labors, we see the dramatic difference between "fat and thin" (the rich and the poor) and how the widening gulf between them strains a city to the breaking point.

Serge Mouret est le prêtre d’un village pauvre, quelque part sur les plateaux désolés et brûlés du Midi de la France. Barricadé dans sa petite église, muré dans les certitudes émerveillées de sa foi, assujetti avec ravissement au rituel de sa fonction et aux horaires maniaques que lui impose sa vieille servante, il vit plus en ermite qu’en prêtre. A la suite d’une maladie, suivie d’une amnésie, il découvre dans un grand parc, le Paradou, à la fois l’amour de la femme et la luxuriance du monde. Une seconde naissance, que suivra un nouvel exil loin du jardin d’Eden. Avec cette réécriture naturaliste de la Genèse, avec ce dialogue de l’ombre et du soleil, des forces de vie et des forces de mort, du végétal et du minéral, Zola écrit certainement l’un des livres les plus riches, stylistiquement et symboliquement, de sa série des Rougon-Macquart.
