«Comment on meurt» is the short story by Émile Zola, published by Flammarion in paperback (128 pages, in French).
Five characters of different social standing live their final moments: the bourgeois Madame Guérard, whose circle already calculates the inheritance; the child Morisseau agonizes without care; the Count de Verteuil dies alone; the miserly Adèle Rousseau and the peasant Lacour. Zola shows, with naturalist irony, that we are not all equal in the face of death.
The work was originally published in 1883. This 2017 edition is part of the Étonnants classiques collection, edited by Fabien Clavel.
Aimed at secondary school students approaching French literature, with supplementary material for the classroom.
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.
