«Le Rêve» is the novel by Émile Zola published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback format (224 pages, in French).
Angélique, an orphan taken in at Beaumont by the Hubert couple, grows up among embroidery and religious piety and becomes passionate about The Golden Legend. Dreaming of an ideal love, she believes she finds it in Félicien, son of the castle's steward; the idyll clashes with secrets of the past. Innocence, faith, and the clash between dream and reality are its core themes.
It is the sixteenth novel of the Les Rougon-Macquart cycle, originally published in 1888; the French edition from Le Livre de Poche is edited by Roger Ripoll.
Aimed at readers of classic French fiction and at students of French who want to read Zola in his original language.
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.
