Скачать книгу (размер 2 033 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 400) Аннотация: The Masterpiece is the tragic story of Claude Lantier, an ambitious and talented young artist from the provinces who has come to conquer Paris and is conquered by the flaws in his own genius.

Nana

Скачать книгу (размер 2 360 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 464) Аннотация: Nana opens in 1867, the year of the World Fair, when Paris, thronged by a cosmopolitan elite, was la Ville Lumiere, a perfect victim for Zola's scathing denunciation of hypocrisy and fin-de-siecle moral corruption. The fate of Nana, the Helen of Troy of the Second Empire, and daughter of the laundress in L'Assommoir, reduced Flaubert to almost inarticulate gasps of admiration: 'Chapter 14,…

Скачать книгу (размер 2 849 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 560) Аннотация: The Charterhouse of Parma (1839) is a compelling novel of passion and daring, of prisons and heroic escape, of political chicanery and sublime personal courage.

Скачать книгу (размер 2 931 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 576) Аннотация: Zola's masterpiece of working life, Germinal (1885), exposes the inhuman conditions of miners in northern France in the 1860s. By Zola's death in 1902 it had come to symbolise the call for freedom from oppression so forcefully that the crowd which gathered at his State funeral chanted 'Germinal! Germinal!'. The central figure, Etienne Lantier, is an outsider who enters the community and…

La Bête Humaine

Скачать книгу (размер 2 197 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 432) Аннотация: Did possessing and killing amount to the same thing deep within the dark recesses of the human beast? La Bete humaine (1890), is one of Zola's most violent and explicit works. On one level a tale of murder, passion and possession, it is also a compassionate study of individuals derailed by atavistic forces beyond their control. Zola considered this his 'most finely worked' novel, and in it he…

Скачать книгу (размер 891 Kb , формат fb2, страниц 176) Аннотация: 'Anyone who wants to gain a quick idea of how before me everything was topsy-turvy should make a start with this work.
