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.

Germinal

Emile Zolas klassiske roman om den purunge prostituerede Nana, hendes opstigning og fald, der samtidig er et billede på datidens Frankrig.

Nana

Tussen de weelderige etalages en duistere kantoren van het Paradijs schuilt een verhaal van macht en onschuld. Een dans van verleiding die niemand onberoerd laat. Het Paradijs voor de Vrouw is het beroemde warenhuis in Parijs waar de slinkse directeur Octave Mouret de scepter zwaait. Zijn charmes en ambities hebben Mouret naar de top van dit machtige imperium gebracht, op zijn weg naar boven heeft hij zijn jonge, vrouwelijke medewerkers gewetenloos uitgebuit en zijn vrouwelijke clientèle verleid met uitbundig uitgestalde producten van glanzende zijde, satijn, fluweel en kant. Als Denise Baudu, een naïef meisje uit de provincie dat net met haar twee broers naar Parijs is verhuisd, als assistente in de winkel komt werken ontdekt Mouret dat hij zelf ook verleid kan worden. In het paradijs voor de vrouw is een rijke en opwindende roman over de consumptiemaatschappij en de (onmogelijke) liefde.

In het paradijs voor de vrouw

The Dream is a simple tale of the orphan Angélique Marie (b. 1851), adopted by a couple of embroiderers, the Huberts, whose marriage is blighted by a childlessness which they attribute to a curse uttered by Mme Hubert's mother on her deathbed. Angélique is enthralled by the tales of the saints and martyrs — particularly Saint Agnes and Saint George — as told in the Golden Legend of Jacobus de Voragine. Her dream is to be saved by a handsome prince and to live happily ever after, in the same way the virgin martyrs have their faiths tested on earth before being rescued and married to Jesus in heaven. Her dream is realized when she falls in love with Félicien d'Hautecœur, the last in an old family of knights, heroes, and nobles in the service of Christ and of France. His father, the present Monseigneur, objects to their marrying for reasons of his own. (Before entering the Church he had married for love a woman much younger than himself; when she died giving birth to Félicien, he sent the child away and took holy orders.) Angélique falls ill and pines away. Won over by her virtue and innocence, the Monseigneur finally relents and the lovers are married; but Angélique dies on the steps of the cathedral as she kisses her husband for the first time. Her death, however, is a happy one: her innocence has freed the Huberts and the Monseigneur from their curses.

The Dream

Nana is a novel by the French naturalist author Émile Zola. Completed in 1880, Nana is the ninth installment in the 20-volume Les Rougon-Macquart series. Nana tells the story of Nana Coupeau's rise from streetwalker to high-class cocotte during the last three years of the French Second Empire. Nana first appears in the end of L'Assommoir (1877), an earlier work of Zola's Rougon-Macquart series, in which she is portrayed as the daughter of an abusive drunk; in the conclusion of that novel, she is living in the streets and just beginning a life of prostitution..

The Fortune of the Rougons (French: La Fortune des Rougon), originally published in 1871, is the first novel in Émile Zola's monumental twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart. After a stirring opening on the eve of the coup d'état, involving an idealistic young village couple joining up with the republican militia in the middle of the night, Zola then spends the next few chapters going back in time to pre-Revolutionary Provence, and proceeds to lay the foundations for the entire Rougon-Macquart cycle, committing himself to what would become the next twenty-two years of his life's work. The fictional town of Plassans (loosely based on the real city of Aix-en-Provence, where Zola grew up) is established as the setting for the novel and described in intimate detail, and then we are introduced to the eccentric heroine Adelaide Fouque, later known as "Tante Dide", who becomes the common ancestor for both the Rougon and Macquart families. Her legitimate son from her short marriage to her late husband, a labourer named Rougon who worked on Dide's land, is forced to grow up alongside two illegitimate children — a boy and a girl — from Dide's later romance with the smuggler, poacher and alcoholic Macquart, while the ageing Dide slides further and further into a state of mental illness and borderline senile dementia. From this premise, the next nineteen novels all get their central protagonists and to a certain extent their themes. The narrative continues along double lines, following both "branches" of the family….

The Fortune Of The Rougons

Therese Raquin tells the story of a young woman, unhappily married to her first cousin by an overbearing aunt who may seem to be well-intentioned but in many ways is deeply selfish. Thérèse's husband, Camille, is sickly and egocentric, and when the opportunity arises, Thérèse enters into a turbulent and sordidly passionate affair with one of Camille's friends, Laurent. Throughout the book there are constant references to chains, cages, tombs, and pits. These motifs contribute to the fact that Laurent and Therese are always in a state of remorse and they are plagued by their guilt for killing Camille. The book mentions how Therese and Laurent are always clawing at the chains that bound them together trying to break free. Also, the store that Therese owns is compared to a tomb, where Therese watches the corpses walk by in the day, and she feels that she will never leave her tomb.

Therese Raquin

Therese Raquin Emile Zola - Thérèse Raquin is a novel by Émile Zola, first published in 1867. It was originally published in serial format in the journal L'Artiste. It was published in book format in December of the same year. In 1873, Zola turned Thérèse Raquin into a play. Thérèse Raquin tells the story of a young woman, unhappily married to her first cousin by a well-intentioned and overbearing aunt. Her cousin, Camille, is sickly and selfish, and when the opportunity arises, Thérèse enters into a tragic affair with one of Camille's friends, Laurent. In his preface, Zola explains that his goal in this novel was to "study temperaments and not characters" and he compares the novel to a scientific study. Because of this detached and scientific approach, Thérèse Raquin is considered an example of Naturalism.

Nana is a novel by the French naturalist author Émile Zola. Completed in 1880, Nana is the ninth installment in the 20-volume Les Rougon-Macquart series, which was to tell "The Natural and Social History of a Family under the Second Empire." The novel was an immediate success. Le Voltaire, the French newspaper that was to publish it in installments from October 1879 on, had launched a gigantic advertising campaign, raising the curiosity of the reading public to a fever pitch. When Charpentier finally published Nana in book form in February 1880, the first edition of 55,000 copies was sold out in one day. Flaubert and Edmond de Goncourt were full of praise for Nana. On the other hand, a part of the non-reading public, spurred on by some critics, reacted to the book with outrage. While the novel is held up as a fine example of writing, it is not especially true to Zola's touted naturalist philosophy; instead, it is one of the most symbolically complex of his novels, setting it apart from the earthy "realism" of L'Assommoir or the more brutal "realism" of La Terre (1887). However, it was a great deal more authentic than most contemporary novels about the demimonde. Nana is especially noted for the crowd scenes, of which there are many, in which Zola proves himself a master of capturing the incredible variety of people. Whereas in his other novels -- notably Germinal (1885) -- he gives the reader an amazingly complete picture of surroundings and the lives of characters, from the first scene we are to understand that this novel treads new ground. Flaubert summed up the novel in one perfect sentence: Nana tourne au mythe, sans cesser d'être réelle. (Nana turns into myth, without ceasing to be real.)

WITH the present work M. Zola completes the "Trilogy of the Three Cities," which he began with "Lourdes" and continued with "Rome"; and thus the adventures and experiences of Abbe Pierre Froment, the doubting Catholic priest who failed to find faith at the miraculous grotto by the Cave, and hope amidst the crumbling theocracy of the Vatican, are here brought to what, from M. Zola's point of view, is their logical conclusion. From the first pages of "Lourdes," many readers will have divined that Abbe Froment was bound to finish as he does, for, frankly, no other finish was possible from a writer of M. Zola's opinions. Taking the Trilogy as a whole, one will find that it is essentially symbolical. Abbe Froment is Man, and his struggles are the struggles between Religion, as personified by the Roman Catholic Church, on the one hand, and Reason and Life on the other. In the Abbe's case the victory ultimately rests with the latter; and we may take it as being M. Zola's opinion that the same will eventually be the case with the great bulk of mankind. English writers are often accused of treating subjects from an insular point of view, and certainly there may be good ground for such a charge. But they are not the only writers guilty of the practice. The purview of French authors is often quite as limited: ...

IN submitting to the English-speaking public this second volume of M. Zola's trilogy "Lourdes, Rome, Paris," I have no prefatory remarks to offer on behalf of the author, whose views on Rome, its past, present, and future, will be found fully expounded in the following pages. That a book of this character will, like its forerunner "Lourdes," provoke considerable controversy is certain, but comment or rejoinder may well be postponed until that controversy has arisen. At present then I only desire to say, that in spite of the great labour which I have bestowed on this translation, I am sensible of its shortcomings, and in a work of such length, such intricacy, and such a wide range of subject, it will not be surprising if some slips are discovered. Any errors which may be pointed out to me, however, shall be rectified in subsequent editions. I have given, I think, the whole essence of M. Zola's text; but he himself has admitted to me that he has now and again allowed his pen to run away with him, and thus whilst sacrificing nothing of his sense I have at times abbreviated his phraseology so as slightly to condense the book. I may add that there are no chapter headings in the original, and that the circumstances under which the translation was made did not permit me to supply any whilst it was passing through the press; however, as some indication of the contents of the book—which treats of many more things than are usually found in novels—may be a convenience to the reader, I have prepared a table briefly epitomising the chief features of each successive chapter.

The Three Cities Trilogy: Rome

In a country far far away there was a miller who had a daughter that he was proud of her beauty and cleverness, so he spread the words across the country that his daughter can spin straw into gold. When the king heard about it, he became anxious and ordered to bring the miller’s daughter to the palace. The Miller was so happy that at last the king will meet his daughter and he will appreciate it ……….

The Miller's daughter

Née en 1852 dans la misère du monde ouvrier, Anna Coupeau dite Nana est la fille de Gervaise Macquart et de Coupeau dont l’histoire est narrée dans L'Assommoir. Le début du roman la montre dans la gêne, manquant d’argent pour élever son fils Louis qu’elle a eu à l’âge de seize ans d'un père inconnu ; elle se prostitue, faisant des passes pour arrondir ses fins de mois. Ceci ne l’empêche pas d’habiter un riche appartement où l’un de ses amants, un riche marchand de Moscou, l’a installée7. Son ascension commence avec un rôle de Vénus qu’elle interprète dans un théâtre parisien : elle ne sait ni parler ni chanter, mais l'habit impudique qui cache si peu de son corps de déesse affole tous les hommes.

Au lendemain du coup d’Etat du 2 décembre 1851, deux jeunes amoureux idéalistes se donnent rendez-vous dans la ville provençale de Plassans. À l'aube du second Empire, Silvère et Miette observent les républicains insurgés progresser dans les rues et les quartiers. Sous le chant exaltés de La Marseillaise, tous deux se mêlent aux insurgés. «La Fortune des Rougon» est autant une histoire d'amour que celle d'un soulèvement républicain. Mais c'est aussi — et surtout — la généalogie des Rougon-Macquart à la double lignée légitime et bâtarde. Premier roman de la série, Zola fait paraître en 1871 les prémisses d'une lente ascension familiale, et un chef d'œuvre du mouvement naturaliste. Émile Zola (1840-1902) est un écrivain considéré comme le plus lu et traduit du monde. Fils d’un ingénieur, il passe sa jeunesse à Aix-en-Provence. Son père meurt alors que Zola n’a que sept ans. Sa mère est en difficulté financière, et Zola est privé d’études. Il échoue deux fois le bac de français, et cherche du travail pour pallier au problème d’argent. Il obtient un poste de commis chez Hachette après une série de métiers déplaisants. Zola grimpe les échelons et devient en 1860 responsable de la publicité au sein d’Hachette. Grâce à cette situation, il se noue d’amitié avec des écrivains contemporains (Flaubert, Alphonse Daudet, Huysmans, Maupassant...) En 1867, il publie «Thérèse Raquin», un roman naturaliste qui fait scandale dans la presse. Cependant, il continue sur sa lancée et publie une grande quantité de romans naturalistes, avec entre autres les «Rougon-Macquart». Il s’impose ainsi en maître du naturalisme littéraire. À compter de la publication de «l'Assommoir», ses publications prennent de l’ampleur au sein du monde littéraire. Alors qu’il s’achète une villa à Médan, il publie avec Guy de Maupassant, J.-K. Huysmans, Henry Céard, Léon Hennique et Paul Alexis «Les Soirées de Médan». Zola est aussi connu pour avoir lutter contre l’antisémitisme: Le 13 janvier 1898, il publie une lettre ouverte dans le journal l'Aurore de Georges Clemenceau, intitulée «J'accuse...!»

L'Assommoir

In "Für eine Liebesnacht" verliebt sich ein schüchterner und armer junger Mann, der zu Träumereien und Flausen neigt, in eine adlige Dame, die nun ihn und seine Liebe gnadenlos für sich ausnutzt. 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. Ein wahrer Klassiker! Emile Zola wurde am 2. 4. 1840 in Paris geboren. Sein italienischer Vater war Ingenieur, die Mutter war gebürtige Französin. Der Vater starb 1847. 1843-1858 lebte er in Aix-en-Provence. Die Mutter zog Ende 1857 nach Paris und ließ Emile im Februar 1858 nachkommen. Dort scheiterte er am Abitur im Lycée Louis-le-Grand und arbeitete zuerst als Schreiber beim Hafenzoll, dann als freier Journalist. 1862 bekam er eine Anstellung im Verlagshaus Hachette, das er nach dem Erfolg seiner ersten beiden Bücher wieder verließ. 1898 setzte er sich mit einem Brief für die Unschuld von Dreyfus ein (" J'accuse") und wurde zu Gefängnis und einer Geldstrafe verurteilt, konnte jedoch nach England entfliehen. 1899 kehrte er nach einer Amnestie zurück. Zola starb am 29. 9. 1902 in Paris.

In "Germinal" entführt Émile Zola die Leser in die grausame Welt der französischen Kohlenbergwerke im späten 19. Jahrhundert. Der Roman, ein Meisterwerk des Naturalismus, schildert eindringlich die Lebensbedingungen der Arbeiter und die sozialen Ungerechtigkeiten, die sie erdulden müssen. Zola nutzt eine eindimensionale Erzählweise, um die Realität der Arbeitermisere unverblümt darzustellen und den täglichen Kampf um Überleben und Würde zu thematisieren, während er gleichzeitig komplexe Charaktere und ihre innere Zerrissenheit entwirft. Dieses Buch ist nicht nur eine bildhafte Schilderung des Lebens in einer Bergbaustadt, sondern auch ein kraftvoller sozialer Kommentar zu den bestehenden Klassenunterschieden der damaligen Zeit. Émile Zola, geboren 1840, war eine zentrale Figur der naturalistischen Literaturbewegung und setzte mit seinen sozialkritischen Werken immer wieder ein Zeichen gegen Missstände seiner Zeit. Seine eigene Erfahrung als Journalist und seine Beobachtungen der Arbeiterklasse inspirierten ihn, die sozialen Bedingungen der Unterprivilegierten zu thematisieren. Zolas engagierte Sichtweise wurde besonders von den Ereignissen der Pariser Kommune und den sozialen Unruhen in Frankreich geprägt, die seine Einstellung zur Klasse und zur Gerechtigkeit nachhaltig beeinflussten. "Germinal" ist ein unverzichtbares Werk für alle, die sich mit sozialer Gerechtigkeit und der Geschichte der Arbeiterbewegung auseinandersetzen möchten. Es bietet nicht nur einen erschütternden Einblick in die historische Realität, sondern regt auch zur Reflexion über die gegenwärtigen sozialen Strukturen an. Jeder Leser, der an der menschlichen Condition interessiert ist, wird in diesem epischen Roman ein eindringliches Porträt der Verzweiflung und des Widerstands finden.

GERMINAL (Deutsche Ausgabe)

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. Lo seguiamo dalla Primavera fino all'Inverno, e sebbene la catastrofe sembri sempre incombente, la speranza non si esaurisce mai. 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. Giovanni è solito nascondersi tra i salici la mattina per osservare Babet, la bella brunetta di cui è innamorato. Tuttavia, come lo avverte lo zio, la Primavera ci prepara per la vecchiaia, e Giovanni ha ancora molto da imparare nel corso delle stagioni.

Le 4 stagioni di Giovanni

The Thirteenth novel in Émile Zola’s great Rougon-Macquart sequence, Germinal expresses outrage at the exploitation of the many by the few, but also shows humanity’s capacity for compassion and hope. Etienne Lantier, an unemployed railway worker, is a clever but uneducated young man with a dangerous temper. Forced to take a back-breaking job at Le Voreux mine when he cannot get other work, he discovers that his fellow miners are ill, hungry, and in debt, unable to feed and clothe their families. When conditions in the mining community deteriorate even further, Lantier finds himself leading a strike that could mean starvation or salvation for all. Often considered to be Zola's masterpiece.

Die Meisterwerke der Französischen Literatur: Eine Sammlung Unvergesslicher Klassiker

‘Thérèse Raquin’ van Émile Zola, voor het eerst gepubliceerd in 1867, is een duister en schokkend meesterwerk over lust, schuld en boete in een somber achterafstraatje van Parijs. Wanneer Thérèse Raquin wordt gedwongen te trouwen met de ziekelijke Camille, ziet ze een sober leven voor zich dat elke avond naar hetzelfde koude bed leidt en elke ochtend naar dezelfde lege dag. Ontsnapping komt in de vorm van de vriend van haar man, Laurent, en Thérèse stort zich halsoverkop in een affaire. Er lijkt maar één obstakel voor hun geluk: Camille. In deze roman analyseerde Zola de dierlijke driften van zijn personages alsof het een wetenschappelijke studie betrof. Daarmee is ‘Thérèse Raquin’ een schoolvoorbeeld van naturalisme. Het levenswerk van Zola was de romancyclus ‘Les Rougon-Macquart’, over het Franse leven in het midden van de negentiende eeuw.

Conservative and working-class, Jean Macquart is an experienced, middle-aged soldier in the French army, who has endured deep personal loss. When he first meets the wealthy and mercurial Maurice Levasseur, who never seems to have suffered, his hatred is immediate. But after they are thrown together during the disastrous Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, the pair are compelled to understand one other. Forging a profound friendship, they must struggle together to endure a disorganised and brutal war, the savage destruction of France's Second Empire and the fall of Napoleon III. One of the greatest of all war novels, The Debacle is Zola's best-selling of all his novels. A forceful and deeply moving tale of close friendship, it is also a fascinating chronicle of the events that were to lead, in the words of Zola himself, to 'the murder of a nation'.

The Debacle

The Dream (Le rêve ) is the sixteenth novel in the Rougon-Macquart series by Émile Zola written in 1888. “The Dream” is a love idyll concerning a poor embroideress, Angelique, and the son of a wealthy aristocratic family, set against the backdrop of a sleepy cathedral town in northern France. The work reveals many of Zola's characteristic themes, in particular the conflict between heredity and environment, between spirituality and sensuality between the powerful and the powerless. The dream of Angelique is at once reality and illusion, and this interplay provides the driving force of the novel. It’s a poem of passion.

Émile Édouard Charles Antoine Zola ( 2 April 1840 – 29 September 1902) was a French novelist, playwright, journalist, the best-known practitioner of the literary school of naturalism, and an important contributor to the development of theatrical naturalism. He was a major figure in the political liberalization of France and in the exoneration of the falsely accused and convicted army officer Alfred Dreyfus, which is encapsulated in the renowned newspaper headline J'accuse. Zola was nominated for the first and second Nobel Prize in Literature in 1901 and 1902.

"The Masterpiece", as it is entitled in English, is a fictionalised account of the Impressionist circle around Paul Cezanne. Zola, who had become an eminent art critic, turns his skills as a forensic commentator on France of the Second Empire and its emerging avant-garde art circles, creates a stunning story of the misunderstood artist whose desire to create the ultimate painting is thwarted by his own timidity and the intolerance of the art world which was unwilling to accept the revolutionaryu art forms of the young men who rebelled against the Salon.

Therese Raquin by Emile Zola. In the claustrophobic atmosphere of a dingy haberdasher's shop on the Passage du Pont-Neuf in Paris, Thérèse Raquin is trapped in a loveless marriage to her sickly cousin, Camille. The numbing tedium of her life is suddenly shattered when she embarks on a turbulent affair with her husband's earthy friend Laurent, but their animal passion for each other soon compels the lovers to commit a crime that will haunt them forever. Thérèse Raquin caused a scandal when it appeared in 1867 and borught its twenty-seven-year-old author a notoriety that followed him throughout his life. Zola's novel is not only an uninhibited portrayal of adultery, madness and ghostly revenge, but also a devastating exploration of the darkest aspects of human existence.

The seventh novel in the Rougon-Macquart cycle, L'Assommoir (1877) is the story of a woman's struggle for happiness in working-class Paris. It was a contemporary bestseller, outraged conservative critics, and launched a passionate debate about the legitimate scope of modern literature. At the centre of the novel stands Gervaise, who starts her own laundry and for a time makes a success of it. But her husband Coupeau squanders her earnings in the Assommoir, the local drinking shop, and gradually the pair sink into poverty and squalor. Generally  considered to be one of Zola's greatest masterpieces. The seventh novel in the Rougon-Macquart cycle.

L'Assommoir (1877) is the seventh novel in Émile Zola's twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart. Usually considered one of Zola's masterpieces, the novel—a harsh and uncompromising study of alcoholism and poverty in the working-class districts of Paris—was a huge commercial success and established Zola's fame and reputation throughout France and the world.

Émile Édouard Charles Antoine Zola (2 April 1840 – 29 September 1902) was a French novelist, playwright, journalist, the most well-known practitioner of the literary school of naturalism and an important contributor to the development of theatrical naturalism. He was a major figure in the political liberalization of France and in the exoneration of the falsely accused and convicted army officer Alfred Dreyfus, which is encapsulated in the renowned newspaper headline J'accuse. Zola was nominated for the first and second Nobel Prize in Literature in 1901 and 1902.

The Death Of Olivier Becaille

Capitain Burle

La Débâcle is a novel by Émile Zola published in 1892, the penultimate in les Rougon-Macquart series. The story is set against the background of the political and military events that ended the reign of Napoléon III and the Second Empire in 1870, in particular the Franco-Prussian War, the Battle of Sedan and the Paris Commune.

The Smash-up (La Debacle): The Downfall

His Masterpiece is the tragic story of Claude Lantier, an ambitious and talented young artist who has come from the provinces to conquer Paris but is conquered instead by the flaws of his own genius. Set in the 1860s and 1870s, it is the most autobiographical of the twenty novels in Zola's Rougon-Macquart series. It provides a unique insight into Zola's career as a writer and his relationship with Cezanne, a friend since their schooldays in Aix-en-Provence. It also presents a well-documented account of the turbulent Bohemian world in which the Impressionists came to prominence despite the conservatism of the Academy and the ridicule of the general public.

His Masterpiece

Nana, The Miller's Daughter, Captain Burle, The Death of Olivier Becaille Nana tells the story of Nana Coupeau's rise from streetwalker to high-class prostitute during the last three years of the French Second Empire. Nana first appeared near the end of Zola's earlier novel Rougon-Macquart series, L'Assommoir (1877), where she is the daughter of an abusive drunk. At the conclusion of that novel, she is living in the streets and just beginning a life of prostitution.

Short Stories

BEFORE perusing this work, it is as well that the reader should understand M. Zola's aim in writing it, and his views—as distinct from those of his characters—upon Lourdes, its Grotto, and its cures. A short time before the book appeared M. Zola was interviewed upon the subject by his friend and biographer, Mr. Robert H. Sherard, to whom he spoke as follows: "'Lourdes' came to be written by mere accident. In 1891 I happened to be travelling for my pleasure, with my wife, in the Basque country and by the Pyrenees, and being in the neighbourhood of Lourdes, included it in my tour. I spent fifteen days there, and was greatly struck by what I saw, and it then occurred to me that there was material here for just the sort of novel that I like to write—a novel in which great masses of men can be shown in motion—un grand mouvement de foule—a novel the subject of which stirred up my philosophical ideas...

The Three Cities Trilogy: Lourdes

At nine o'clock in the evening the body of the house at the Theatres des Varietes was still all but empty. A few individuals, it is true, were sitting quietly waiting in the balcony and stalls, but these were lost, as it were, among the ranges of seats whose coverings of cardinal velvet loomed in the subdued light of the dimly burning luster...

Four Short Stories

"It was too late then to study the question, for I had visited Lourdes late in September, and so had missed seeing the best pilgrimage, which takes place in August, under the direction of the Peres de la Misericorde, of the Rue de l'Assomption in Paris—the National Pilgrimage, as it is called. These Fathers are very active, enterprising men, and have made a great success of this annual national pilgrimage. Under their direction thirty thousand pilgrims are transported to Lourdes, including over a thousand sick persons. "So in the following year I went in August, and saw a national pilgrimage, and followed it during the three days which it lasts, in addition to the two days given to travelling. After its departure, I stayed on ten or twelve days, working up the subject in every detail. My book is the story of such a national pilgrimage, and is, accordingly, the story of five days. It is divided into five parts, each of which parts is limited to one day.
