La Mort d'Olivier Bécaille et autres nouvelles

In January 1898 Émile Zola took an important part in the defense of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a French Jew unjustly accused of selling military secrets to Germany. On the front page of a Paris newspaper, the novelist published a terrific denunciation of French government officials, entitled “J’accuse…!” (“I Accuse…!”) It was written as an open letter to Félix Faure, President of the French Republic, and accused the government of anti-Semitism in the Dreyfus Affair. The brave letter had much to do with freeing Dreyfus in 1899.This Kindle edition, equivalent in length to a physical book of approximately 20 pages, includes the complete text, in English, of Zola’s open letter to the French President.Includes supplemental material:•About Alfred Dreyfus•About Émile ZolaAbout the Author:Émile Zola (1840-1902) was a French novelist and critic. Other works include “Nana,” “Germinal,” and “La Terre.”

L'Affaire Dreyfus: La Vérité en marche

Une des grandes grèves du siècle dernier racontée par un journaliste de génie qui en a fait un réquisitoire, un formidable « J'accuse » contre le capital, le roman de la lutte des classes et de la misère ouvrière. Un livre de nuit, de violence et de sang, mais qui débouche sur l'espoir d'un monde nouveau lorsque le héros, Étienne Lantier, quittant la mine « en soldat raisonneur de la révolution », sent naître autour de lui une « armée noire, vengeresse... dont la germination allait bientôt faire éclater la terre ».Germinal marque l'éveil du monde du travail à la conscience de ses droits et c'est au cri sans cesse repris de « Germinal ! Germinal ! » que la délégation des mineurs de Denain accompagna le convoi funèbre de Zola à travers les rues de Paris.

Germinal (Les Rougon-Macquart, #13)

One of Zola's most famous realist novels, Therese Raquin is a clinically observed, sinister tale of adultery and murder among the lower classes in nineteenth-century Parisian society.Set in the claustrophobic atmosphere of a dingy haberdasher's shop in the passage du Pont-Neuf in Paris, this powerful novel tells how the heroine and her lover, Laurent, kill her husband, Camille, but are subsequently haunted by visions of the dead man, and prevented from enjoying the fruits of their crime.Zola's shocking tale dispassionately dissects the motivations of his characters--mere "human beasts", who kill in order to satisfy their lust--and stands as a key manifesto of the French Naturalist movement, of which the author was the founding father. Published in 1867, this is Zola's most important work before the Rougon-Macquart series and introduces many of the themes that can be traced through the later novel cycle.
