About this ebook
Eugène Rougon loses office, spends the book intriguing to get it back, and discovers that power was the only thing he ever wanted. Zola drew the parliament from the official records, and the portrait of Rougon is the coldest in the cycle. This edition includes fifty-two plates of painting by Jean Béraud, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Félicie Schneider and Camille Pissarro, dated 1852 to 1910, in the translation by Ernest Alfred Vizetelly.
