classic classy

In the words of Jeanne Mas, it is a first time ever, all, first time for me and Zola the genesis of his immense work to 20 novels.
There is everything in this book, a beautiful love story Miette and Silvere, intrigues do you want in here, a style that ensures (Hugo and Flaubert when you welcome it poses a quality), human and social painting , terrible characters, special mention to Rougon, pushy, and calculators that rabbit manure Macquart character as detestable as Thenardier.

Not being more than that history buff, if any interested, the Rougons begins under the Second Empire.

Miette is touching, its symbol of Freedom is beautiful, the end of the book is superb, the beginning of the book is superb, this book is superb, Zola is an artist, I am delighted to have discovered.
