About the author

Émile Zola (1840–1902) was a French novelist, journalist, and playwright, and a leading figure of literary naturalism. He advocated observing society and human life with a scientific attitude, and his narratives confront the hardships of lower-class life and the complexities of human nature. His major achievement is the twenty-volume Les Rougon-Macquart cycle, which includes such novels as Germinal, Nana, and L'Assommoir, as well as works such as Thérèse Raquin. Drawing his subjects from social reality, he wrote with meticulous detail and force, and his influence on later realist and naturalist writing has been profound. In 1898, he went into exile after publishing J'Accuse in connection with the Dreyfus Affair, and in 1902 he died in Paris of gas poisoning.
