Description
Thérèse Raquin is a dark and unflinching tale of adultery and murder set in 19th-century Paris. Émile Zola's masterful exploration of human nature, stripped bare by the harsh realities of life among the lower orders, has shocked readers for generations with its unvarnished portrayal of lust and violence. This new translation is based on the second edition of 1868, and features an introduction that situates the novel within the context of Naturalism, medicine, and the scientific ideas of Zola's day. A wealth of additional features, including expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies, make this a valuable addition to any literary collection. Published in 2008, Thérèse Raquin remains a powerful and thought-provoking work that continues to disturb and fascinate readers today.
