Émile Zola 
Abbe Mouret’s Transgression [EPUB ebook] 

Abbe Mouret’s Transgression (1875) is the fifth novel in
Émile Zola ‘s twenty-volume series
Les Rougon-Macquart . Viciously anticlerical in tone, it follows on from the horrific events at the end of La Conquête de Plassans, focussing this time on a remote Provençal backwater village.
Émile Édouard Charles Antoine Zola (2 April 1840 – 29 September 1902) was a French novelist, playwright, journalist, the most well-known practitioner of the literary school of naturalism, and an important contributor to the development of theatrical naturalism.
