Emile Zola is one of the pillars of world realist literature, a leader and theorist of the literary movement 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-Macquaries", opening before the reader an endless panorama of human vices and virtues in the scenery of the Second Empire. This is an encyclopedia of life in Paris and the French provinces on the material of several generations of one family, which gave birth to the most bizarre fruits - dizzying in its detail and scale epic, where there is everything: greed and selflessness, love of neighbor and animal passion, lofty aspirations and daily routine, pride, cruelty, cynicism and violence, the rise and fall of the strong and weak of this world. This illustrated edition includes the first three novels of the cycle in the order in which the author recommended reading it: here the branched family of Rugon-Macquaras originates, gives and collects abundant and corrosive harvest, claims the rights to power and leads to despair and death of its first victims, whose souls are unable to resist the scourge.
