La Curée (The Kill)
12 hrs. 37 min.
A novel from the “Rougon-Macquart” series depicts one year in the life of the Second Empire: from the autumn of 1861 to the autumn of 1862. According to the writer, he wanted to immortalize “the ringing of gold, the rustling of millions, the loud orgies of the flesh,” “the bacchanalia of brawls” that characterized that era. His hero, Aristide, is driven by an all-consuming goal—to amass a fortune, snatch a portion from the common spoils; plans to remodel Paris open up wide space for his financial schemes. The love story of Aristide’s wife René for her stepson is presented with the impartiality and tragic force characteristic of the naturalist method. The novel’s impact on the public was such that the writer had to give explanations to the prosecutor of the Republic.
