Émile Zola was the most prominent French novelist of the late nineteenth century. He was noted for his theories of naturalism, which permeate his monumental 20-novel series ‘Les Rougon-Macquart’. Recognised in his lifetime as one of the greatest novelists of his era, Zola was also as a man of action, a defender of truth and justice, and a champion of the poor and persecuted. For the first time in publishing history, this e Book presents Zola’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
