«El vientre de París» is the novel by Émile Zola published by Ediciones Petronio in paperback, with 256 pages, in Spanish.
Set in 19th-century Paris, it takes place in the Les Halles market, where the charcutière Lisa takes in her brother-in-law Florent, a republican fugitive from the Cayenne penal colony. Amid gossip, meals and conspiracies against the Empire, Zola composes an exuberant critical portrait of Parisian society: a feast of smells, colors and characters.

For readers interested in classic French literature and 19th-century realism.
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.
