«Thérèse Raquin» is the naturalist novel by French writer Émile Zola, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (352 pages, in French).
Thérèse, married without love to her sickly cousin Camille, suffocates in her aunt's haberdashery in Paris. The arrival of Laurent, her husband's friend, ignites a passion that leads to a crime; guilt corrupts the lovers. A key novel of naturalism, Zola probes the tormented psychology of his characters.
Originally published in 1867, this French edition from the Folio Classique collection includes a preface by Robert Abirached.
For readers of classic French literature and for those who want to delve into nineteenth-century 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.
