The Fortune of the Rougons
15 hrs. 21 min.
Émile Zola (1840–1902) was one of the pillars of world realistic literature—the leader of the literary movement of naturalism, a passionate publicist and human-rights advocate, and a keen researcher of everyday life.
His best-known work is the monumental twenty-volume cycle “Rougon-Macquart,” opening before the reader an endless panorama of human vices and virtues in the settings of the Second Empire—an encyclopedia of life in Paris and the French provinces based on several generations of one family, which bore the strangest offspring.
“The Career of the Rougons” is Émile Zola’s first novel from the Rougon-Macquart cycle, first published in 1871. Zola’s plan was to show in the series how heredity and environment affected members of one family during the years of the Second Empire—the period of Napoleon III’s dictatorship.
In the first novel of the series, Zola tells the beginning of the histories of the Rougon and Macquart families, revealing the origins of nearly all the main members, focusing primarily on Pierre Rougon and his half-brother Antoine Macquart. They take part in an adventure involving the seizure of power in the city and opposition to republican insurgents.
