Amidst the great silence and in the desert of the avenue, the market gardeners' carts ascended towards Paris, with the rhythmic jolts of their wheels, whose echoes beat against the facades of the houses, asleep on both sides, behind the confused lines of the elms. A cart of cabbages and a cart of peas, at the Neuilly bridge, had joined the eight carts of turnips and carrots that descended from Nanterre; and the horses went alone, heads down, at their continuous and lazy pace, which the ascent still slowed down.
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.
