«Comment on meurt» is the short story by Émile Zola, published by Flammarion in paperback (126 pages, in French).
The short story presents five characters from different social classes about to die: a bourgeois woman whose children await her inheritance, a sick child without resources, a lonely nobleman, a greedy merchant, and a peasant who dies in peace. Zola shows with irony that not everyone dies the same.
Originally published in 1883, this title belongs to Flammarion's «Étonnants Classiques» collection, with pedagogical material and an analysis of the short story in the 19th century.
For students of French literature and for readers who want to discover Émile Zola's short fiction.
Émile Édouard Charles Antoine Zola was a French novelist, journalist, playwright, the best-known practitioner of the literary school of naturalism, and an important contributor to the development of theatrical naturalism. He was a major figure in the political liberalization of France and in the exoneration of the falsely accused and convicted army officer Alfred Dreyfus, which is encapsulated in his renowned newspaper opinion headlined J'Accuse...! Zola was nominated for the first and second Nobel Prizes in Literature in 1901 and 1902.
