Product Description: Little known in this country until its republication by Sun & Moon Press, The Belly of Paris is one of Émile Zola’s most fascinating and exciting novels—a book of culinary treats.Translated by Zola’s original English publisher, Ernest Alfred Vizetelly.

Unjustly deported to Devil's Island following Louis-Napoleon's coup-d'état in December 1851, Florent Quenu escapes and returns to Paris. He finds the city changed beyond recognition. The old Marché des Innocents has been knocked down as part of Haussmann's grand program of urban reconstruction, replaced by Les Halles, the spectacular new food markets. Disgusted by a bourgeois society whose devotion to food is inseparable from its devotion to the Government, Florent attempts an insurrection. Les Halles, apocalyptic and destructive, play an active role in Zola's picture of a world in which food and the injustice of society are inextricably linked. This is the first English translation in fifty years of Le Ventre de Paris (The Belly of Paris). The third in Zola's great cycle, Les Rougon-Macquart, it is as enthralling as Germinal, Thérèse Raquin, and the other novels in the series. Its focus on the great Paris food hall, Les Halles--combined with Zola's famous impressionist descriptions of food--make this a particularly memorable novel. Brian Nelson's lively translation captures the spirit of Zola's world and his Introduction illuminates the use of food in the novel to represent social class, social attitudes, political conflicts, and other aspect of the culture of the time. The bibliography and notes ensure that this is the most critically up-to-date edition of the novel in print.

Product Description: La Bete Humaine By Emile Zola

Product Description: Eine junge Frau...Eine heftige Leidenschaft...Und eine dramatische Familiengeschichte. Ein Blatt Liebe (französisch Une page d’amour) ist ein Roman von Émile Zola aus dem Jahre 1877 und zugleich der achte Teil des zwanzigbändigen Rougon-Macquart-Zyklus.

En entrant dans la chambre, Roubaud posa sur la table le pain d'une livre, le pâté et la bouteille de vin blanc. Mais, le matin, avant de descendre à son poste, la mère Victoire avait dû couvrir le feu de son poêle, d'un tel poussier, que la chaleur était suffocante. Et le sous-chef de gare, ayant ouvert une fenêtre, s'y accouda. C'était impasse d'Amsterdam, dans la dernière maison de droite, une haute maison où la Compagnie de l'Ouest logeait certains de ses employés. La fenêtre, au cinquième, à l'angle du toit mansardé qui faisait retour, donnait sur la gare, cette tranchée large trouant le quartier de l'Europe, tout un déroulement brusque de l'horizon, que semblait agrandir encore, cet après-midi-là, un ciel gris du milieu de février, d'un gris humide et tiède, traversé de soleil.
