The Fortune Of The Rougons - 9781530741731

The Fortune of the Rougons, originally published in 1871, is the first novel in ?ile Zola's monumental twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart. The novel is partly an origin story, with a huge cast of characters swarming around - many of whom become the central figures of later novels in the series - and partly an account of the December 1851 coup d'?at that created the French Second Empire under Napoleon III as experienced in a large provincial town in southern France.
