Emile Zolas klassiske roman om den purunge prostituerede Nana, hendes opstigning og fald, der samtidig er et billede på datidens Frankrig.

Questo romanzo, pubblicato nel 1883 e divenuto famoso per i numerosi adattamenti cinematografici e televisivi, è quasi un manifesto di Zola contro il consumismo e la spietata ruota del progresso economico che calpesta qualsiasi dimensione umana.

Questo romanzo di Emile Zola, scrittore e giornalista francese, esponente del naturalismo, fu scritto nel 1867. Venne definito dall'autore un romanzo-studio "psicologico e fidiologico", in riferimento alla complessità caratteriale dei personaggi, sui cui comportamenti si incentra l'analisi dello scrittore. Tutti i personaggi agiscono comunque per egoismo: mamma Raquin cresce la nipote in funzione di suo figlio, soffocandone la personalità per farle poi sposare il figlio inetto.

Herr Chabre will unbedingt, dass seine Frau Stella endlich schwanger wird. Aber da ein biologischer Erbe auf sich warten lässt, fährt das Ehepaar auf Wunsch des Arztes in die Bretagne. Hier avanciert der junge Hector schnell zum Freund der Familie und bei traumhafter Landschaft und wundervollem Wetter scheint ein Happy End unausweichlich - fragt sich nur für wen. Diese erzählerische Romanze Zolas besticht mit Geschmeidigkeit, Leichtigkeit und feinem Humor und kitzelt da, wo es am angenehmsten ist - an Herz und Seele!

Spekulanten, Finanzmakler, große Bankiers und kleine Anleger, Zyniker, Aasgeier, Moralisten und Revolutionäre. Frankreichs berühmter Romancier Zola beschreibt die Geschichte eines Höhenflugs und Crashs an der Pariser Börse zum Ausgang des 19. Jahrhunderts. Er erzählt von all den Opfern und Tätern in diesem schwindelerregenden Spiel um das Geld, von ihren Intrigen und Machenschaften, ihren Nöten und Sehnsüchten.

"Nanà" ha per protagonista una prostituta e per tema uno dei nuclei attorno a cui ruota l'intero progetto zoliano: la carne, ovvero la pulsione e la ricerca ossessiva del piacere. L'affresco orchestrato da Zola si basa, come sempre nello scrittore francese, su un lungo lavoro preparatorio fatto di interviste a prostitute vere e racconti di amici ben introdotti nell'ambiente galante. Pubblicato nel 1880, il romanzo riesce a descrivere dall'interno la vita del Secondo impero e il suo sistema dei valori.

Un drame de la petite bourgeoisie à l'origine du naturalisme.

"L'Assommoir", septième volume de la série "Les Rougon-Macquart" publié en 1877, est considéré comme le plus grand roman d'Émile Zola. L'ouvrage est totalement consacré au monde ouvrier et, selon Zola, c'est "le premier roman sur le peuple, qui ne mente pas et qui ait l'odeur du peuple". L'écrivain y restitue la langue et les mœurs des ouvriers, tout en décrivant les ravages causés par la misère et l'alcoolisme. "L'Assommoir" raconte la grandeur puis la décadence de Gervaise Macquart, honnête blanchisseuse de la Goutte d'Or dans le Paris populaire de 1850.

Le Figaro du 23 janvier 1868 à propos de Thérèse Raquin : "C'est le résidu de toutes les horreurs. Le sujet est simple, le remords physique de deux amants qui tuent le mari mais qui, ce mari tué, n'osent plus s'étreindre, car voici le supplice délicat qui les attend."

Sex, betrayal, murder and corruption form the basis of this sensational novel by one of the leading French authors of the 19th century. Jacques Lantier is a man with a hereditary homicidal lust. When he sees Roubaud and his wife Severine slit the throat of a wealthy nobleman, it is the catalyst for a string of murders in a convoluted plot full of horror and suspense.

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.

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.

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.

Although it is little known in this country, The Belly of Paris is considered one of Émile Zola’s best novels. Set in the newly built food markets of Paris, it is a story of wealth and poverty set against a sumptuous banquet of food and commerce. Having just escaped from prison after being wrongfully accused, young Florent arrives at Paris’ food market, Les Halles, half starved, surrounded by all he can’t have, and indignant at his world, which he now knows to be unjust. He finds that the city’s working classes have been displaced to make way for bigger streets and bourgeois living quarters, so he settles in with his brother’s family.

In a dingy apartment on the Passage du Pont-Neuf in Paris, Thérèse Raquin is trapped in a loveless marriage to her sickly cousin, Camille. The numbing tedium of her life is suddenly shattered when she embarks on a turbulent affair with her husband's earthy friend, Laurent. But their passion for each other soon compels the lovers to commit a crime that will haunt them forever.

Considered by André Gide to be one of the 10 greatest novels in the French language, Germinal is a brutal depiction of the poverty and wretchedness of a mining community in Northern France under the second empire. At the centre of the novel is Etienne Lantier, a handsome 21-year-old mechanic, intelligent but with little education and a dangerous predisposition to murderous, alcoholic rage.

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.
