Book excerpt: A Page of Love (1878) is a novel by French author Émile Zola. The eighth of twenty volumes of Zola’s monumental Les Rougon-Macquart series is an epic story of family, politics, class, and history that traces the disparate paths of several French citizens raised by the same mother. Spanning the entirety of the French Second Empire, Zola provides a sweeping portrait of change that refuses to shy away from controversy and truth as it gets to the heart of heredity and human nature. Hélène Grandjean, a member of the Mouret family, finds herself desperate and alone when her husband Charles dies from a sudden illness. Left as the sole guardian of her young daughter Jeanne, she does her best to provide while overcoming the boundaries of life in a strange new town. Having moved from Marseilles to the suburbs of Paris only days before Charles’ death, Hélène longs for friendship and community. When Jeanne suffers a violent seizure, she receives assistance from her neighbor, Dr. Deberle. Soon, Hélène befriends Deberle and his wife Juliette, who introduce her to their family and small circle of acquaintances. Although she remains wary of romance, Hélène soon finds herself falling in love with a kind and gentle man, a figure capable of caring for her and her young daughter—a man who is already married. A Page of Love is a story of family and fate, a thrilling and detailed novel that continues a series rich enough for its author to explore in twenty total volumes. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Émile Zola’s A Page of Love is a classic work of French literature reimagined for modern readers.

Download or read book A Love Episode written by Émile Zola and published by Mondial. This book was released on 2005 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rougon-Macquart, volume 8: There can be no doubt in the mind of the judicial critic that in the pages of "A Love Episode" ("Une page d'amour") the reader finds more of the poetical, more of the delicately artistic, more of the subtle emanation of creative and analytical genius, than in any other of Zola's works... In all literature there is nothing like the portrayal of the punishment of Helene Grandjean. Helene and little Jeanne are reversions of type. The old "neurosis," seen in earlier bran-ches of the family, reappears in these characters. Readers of the series will know where it began. Poor little Jeanne, most pathetic of creations, is a study in abnormal jealousy, a jealousy which seems to be clairvoyant, full of supernatural intuitions, turning everything to suspicion, a jealousy which blights and kills. Could the memory of those weeks of anguish fade from Helene's soul? This dying of a broken heart is not merely the figment of a poet's fancy. It has happened in real life. The coming of death, save in the case of the very aged, seems, nearly always, brutally cruel, at least to those friends who survive. (C. C. Starkweather)

Book excerpt: The Belly of Paris (Le Ventre de Paris) is the third novel in Émile Zola's twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart, first published in 1873. It is a novel of the teeming life which surrounds the great central markets of Paris. The book was originally translated into English by Henry Vizetelly and published in 1888 under the title Fat and Thin. After Vizetelly's imprisonment for obscene libel the novel was one of those revised and expurgated by his son, Ernest Alfred Vizetelly. The heroine is Lisa Quenu, a daughter of Antoine Macquart. She has become prosperous, and with prosperity her selfishness has increased. Her brother-in-law Florent had escaped from penal servitude in Cayenne and lived for a short time in her house, but she became tired of his presence and ultimately denounced him to the police. Émile Zola (1840 – 1902) was a French writer, the most important exemplar of the literary school of naturalism and an important contributor to the development of theatrical naturalism. He was a major figure in the political liberalization of France.

Download or read book A Love Episode written by Émile Joseph Zola and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescent girls have a bit of a reputation for sabotaging their parents' attempts to re-partner, don't they? If you think that such brattiness is a modern phenomenon, this novel by Zola will make you think again...Une page d'amour, translated variously as A Love Episode; A Page of Love; Hlne: A Love Episode; or A Love Affair; was first published in 1878. It's eighth in the publication order, but tenth in the recommended reading order, following on from The Sin of Father Mouret (see my review) and exploring the same kind of theme of transgressive love. Jean Stewart says in her brief introduction to this edition, that Zola had shocked his readers with his expos of social evil and human degradation in the nightmare world of The Dram Shop (L'Assommoir, 1877) and he wanted to show that he could also write about a touching subject, treated with the utmost simplicity...a good natured book. (p.5)A Love Affair is, as Zola apparently said, about nice people and romantic feelings and children and flowers - but he couldn't help himself, he had to make his romance fit with his dubious theory of heredity and a crude determinist philosophy. And so that malevolent young girl on the cover is the inheritor of the Macquart character flaws. She is the great-granddaughter of mad Adelaide Fouque and the grand-daughter of Mouret who hung himself after his wife died - and, irrevocably stained by this heredity, she is the eleven-year-old saboteur of her mother Hlne's love.
Download or read book A Love Episode Classic Reprint written by Émile Zola and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Love Episode From this it will be seen that the moral of the book if indeed a moral be required - is as sound as that of George Eliot's masterpiece, the pathos of which it more than once rivals. Still, it may be admitted that a writer of the romantic school would probably have left H elene desolate by the side of her darling's grave; and such a finish could not have been otherwise than impressive. But M. Zola is above all a realist, and he well knows that even the most bitter griefs are softened by the comforting hand of time. Thus Helene emerges from her woe, marries again, and secures a new lease of happiness in the society of a devoted husband. Doubtless it might have been more dramatic to have left her beneath the blow Of her bereavement; but to my thinking the denmtemeut planned by the novelist is far more in accordance with the probabilities of life.
