«Comment on meurt» is the story by French writer Émile Zola, published by Flammarion in paperback (128 pages, in French).
Zola does not ask why we die, but how one dies: agony as a social act and taboo. With characters from various backgrounds, he portrays aristocratic coldness, bourgeois disputes over inheritance, the negligence of merchants, the powerlessness of workers and the resignation of peasants, with irony.
The story was originally published in 1883; this edition belongs to the Étonnants classiques collection and includes the complete text.
School edition linked to secondary school curricula, for those studying Zola's realism and naturalism.
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.
