Bücher von Émile Zola

In this groundbreaking essay on literary craft, the author suggests that rather than imitate reality, a writer must attempt a scientific investigation of the nature of everyday life. For Zola, plot must be secondary to character, and character must be subject to the laws and limitations of a particular society. The Experimental Novel is an essay by Émile Zola.

Émile Zola gilt als einer der großen französischen Romanciers des 19. Jahr-hunderts und als Leitfigur und Begründer der literarischen Strömung des Naturalismus. Während Zola zunächst lose Romane veröffentlichte und als Journalist arbei-tete, konzipierte er ab 1869 den überwiegenden Teil seiner Romane als Teile eines Zyklus mit dem Titel « Les Rougon-Macquart. Histoire naturelle et sociale d¿une famille sous le Second Empire ». Die insgesamt 20 Romane der Reihe befassen sich als Familiengeschichte mit den großen sozialen und politischen Fragen seiner Zeit. Hierbei spielt der Kampf zwischen der Bourgeoisie (verkörpert durch die Rougons) und der Unterschicht (verkörpert durch die Macquarts) eine entscheidende Rolle. Zola, selber ein gemäßigter Linker, wollte die eher konservativ ausgerichtete Literatur Frankreichs durch progressive Aspekte bereichern.Die 20 Romane des Zyklus sind in chronologischer Reihenfolge:1.

Lourdes (1894) is a novel by French author Émile Zola. Lourdes is the first installment in Zola's celebrated Three Cities Trilogy. Published toward the end of Zola's career, the trilogy is an ambitious, sweeping study of one man's struggle with faith in political, religious, and social life. Following his protagonist Abbé Pierre Froment, Zola provides a striking portrait of the soul of modern man in crisis with itself and with an ever-changing world. Lourdes opens as Abbé Froment departs on a journey from Paris to the holy city of Lourdes. Accompanied by his childhood love, a woman who was paralyzed in an accident at the age of thirteen, Froment hopes to rediscover his faith and to reestablish his position in a beleaguered Catholic Church. There, they meet a series of diverse pilgrims, all of them dissatisfied, all of them searching for something to change or to hold onto. For Froment, this journey begins as a way to help an old friend and becomes a chance at redeeming his wayward soul. At Lourdes, surrounded by desperate, yet faithful people, he begins to remember what brought him to God in the first place. Inspired by his experiences there, he wonders if one priest could change the Church for the better.
