Germinal is one of the most striking novels in the French tradition. Widely regarded as Zola's masterpiece, the novel describes the working conditions of French coalminers in the 1860s in harsh and realistic terms. It is visceral, graphic, and unrelenting. Its strong socialist principles and vivid accounts of the miners' strikes meant that the novel became a key symbol in the workers' fight against oppression, with chants of "Germinal! Germinal!" resonating high above the author's funeral.

Emile Zola, along with fellow novelists Honoré de Balzac and Gustave Flaubert, was an early realist in French literature.

"Nanà" ha per protagonista una prostituta e per tema uno dei nuclei attorno a cui ruota l'intero progetto zoliano: la carne, ovvero la pulsione e la ricerca ossessiva del piacere. L'affresco orchestrato da Zola si basa, come sempre nello scrittore francese, su un lungo lavoro preparatorio fatto di interviste a prostitute vere e racconti di amici ben introdotti nell'ambiente galante. Pubblicato nel 1880, il romanzo riesce a descrivere dall'interno la vita del Secondo impero e il suo sistema dei valori.

“Le quattro stagioni di Giovanni Gourdon” si incentra su quattro fatidiche giornate nella vita di un uomo profondamente radicato nella sua terra natia nel sud della Francia.

Giovanni Gourdon vive con lo zio prete nel borgo di Dourgues, non distante dal fiume Durance. Abita lì da dieci anni, dieci anni colmi di frasi in latino e di sermoni, ma principalmente trascorsi a imparare a conoscere i flussi e riflussi di quel piccolo angolo di fiume.

Denn, so weiß auch Zola, ist erst einmal der Ehe-Alltag eingekehrt, ist nichts mehr so, wie es mal war.

Eine hochdramatische Erzählung, in den die Katastrophe unausweichlich scheint, aber doch auch stets Grund zur Hoffnung bleibt. Zola, noch heute einer der meistgelesenen Autoren der Welt, vermischt in seinen Romanen und Erzählungen auf faszinierende Weise Symbolismus und Naturalismus und schafft so ein Werk, das bedrückende Tiefe und packenden Realitätssinn miteinander vereint.
