Description
Thérèse Raquin is a novel of turbulent passion, set in a dingy Parisian apartment where the protagonist, Thérèse, is trapped in a loveless marriage. Her life is shattered when she embarks on a passionate affair with her husband's friend, Laurent, leading to a crime that will haunt her forever. This classic novel, first published in 1867, explores the darkest aspects of human existence with unflinching honesty. Robin Buss's translation brings Zola's style to life, conveying the author's fearlessness and matter-of-fact approach to the human condition. This edition includes an introduction to Zola's life and literary career, as well as notes and a chronology to provide context and depth to the novel. Penguin Classics offers authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, making this edition a valuable resource for readers seeking to understand Zola's work in depth.
