Emile Zola is one of the pillars of world realist literature, the founder and theorist of naturalism, a keen researcher of everyday life, a passionate human rights activist and publicist, who influenced the entire realist direction of literature of the XX century and above all the school of "new journalism": Truman Capote, Tom Wolfe, Norman Mailer. His most famous work is the epochal twenty-volume cycle "Rugon-Makkary", revealing to the reader an endless panorama of human vices and virtues in the scenery of the Second Empire. This is a true encyclopedia of life in Paris and the French province on the example of several generations of one family, which gave birth to the most bizarre fruits. This illustrated edition includes the novels, occupying, according to the author's prescribed reading order, the ninth and tenth place in the cycle. Against the background of Zola created a large-scale panorama of life in Paris, where greed daily opposes selflessness, love of neighbor - animal passions, lofty aspirations - stultifying daily routine, where pride, cruelty, cynicism and violence, and the movement of life is directed by the rise and fall of the strong and weak of this world, the novels "The Misconduct of the Abbé Mouret" and "Page of Love" suddenly places the reader in a lyrical chamber world of forbidden love, vague longings, "small" tests of the soul and the inevitable for every fate of the search for a place in the world.
