«Thérèse Raquin» is Émile Zola's naturalist novel, published by Folio in paperback (344 pages, in French).
Set in nineteenth-century Paris, it tells the story of a woman trapped in a suffocating marriage with a sickly husband and a domineering mother-in-law. Her encounter with Laurent, her husband's friend, unleashes an adulterous passion with tragic consequences. Zola conceived it as a clinical study of human temperaments and passions, far from Romanticism.
Serialized in 1867 in L'Artiste; it is Zola's third novel, an early work of Naturalism. Edition by Robert Abirached in the Folio classique collection.
For readers of nineteenth-century classics and Naturalism, as well as students of French literature.
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.
