Émile Zola is regarded as one of the most significant French novelists of the 19th century and a founder of Naturalism. He initially published loosely connected novels and worked as a journalist before conceptualizing most of his works as part of a cycle that illuminates the social and political realities of his time. The twenty novels in this series narrate the family saga of the Rougons and Macquarts, addressing the conflict between the bourgeoisie and the working class. Zola, a moderate leftist, aimed to enrich conservative French literature with progressive elements. The novels are arranged in chronological order and tackle central societal issues. The cycle includes titles such as "The Fortune of the Rougons," "Nana," "Germinal," and "Doctor Pascal," each depicting various aspects of life under the Second Empire. Zola's work is considered crucial for understanding the social structures and conflicts of his era and has left a lasting impact on literature.

The Kill (La Curée) is the second volume in Zola's great cycle of twenty novels, Les Rougon-Macquart, and the first to establish Paris - the capital of modernity - as the centre of Zola's narrative world. Conceived as a representation of the uncontrollable 'appetites' unleashed by the Second Empire (1852-70) and the transformation of the city by Baron Haussmann, the novel combines into a single, powerful vision the twin themes of lust for money and lust for pleasure. The all-pervading promiscuity of the new Paris is reflected in the dissolute and frenetic lives of an unscrupulous property speculator, Saccard, his neurotic wife Renée, and her dandified lover, Saccard's son Maxime.

"A favorite of connoisseurs of works of fantasy for many decades." ? St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A compelling story of mystical experiences, strange transformations, and profound terror, this is the most famous supernatural novel in modern European literature, set in Ghetto of Old Prague around 1890. 13 black-and-white illustrations. "Not to be missed." ? Los Angeles Times.

In The Dream, the sixteenth novel in the Rougon-Macquart series, Zola blends mysticism and fairy tale with naturalism as an orphan girl falls in love with a nobleman.
