Description
The Belly of Paris by Émile Zola In 1851, Louis-Napoleon's coup d'état led to the unjust deportation of Florent Quenu to Devil's Island. He escapes and returns to Paris, only to find the city transformed beyond recognition. The old Marché des Innocents has been demolished as part of Haussmann's urban reconstruction project, making way for Les Halles, a new food market. Disillusioned with the bourgeois society that prioritises food in its devotion to the government, Florent attempts an insurrection. Zola's novel explores the connection between food and social injustice, set against the backdrop of a world undergoing radical change. This is the third volume in Zola's Les Rougon-Macquart cycle, introducing painter Claude Lantier. Published by Oxford University Press, this edition offers a wealth of features, including expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies for further study.
