Excerpt from A Love Episode
From this it will be seen that the moral of the book if indeed a moral be required - is as sound as that of George Eliot's masterpiece, the pathos of which it more than once rivals. Still, it may be admitted that a writer of the romantic school would probably have left H elene desolate by the side of her darling's grave; and such a finish could not have been otherwise than impressive. But M. Zola is above all a realist, and he well knows that even the most bitter griefs are softened by the comforting hand of time. Thus Helene emerges from her woe, marries again, and secures a new lease of happiness in the society of a devoted husband. Doubtless it might have been more dramatic to have left her beneath the blow Of her bereavement; but to my thinking the dénmtemeut planned by the novelist is far more in accordance with the probabilities of life.

About the Author:
?mile Zola was a French writer who is recognized as an exemplar of literary naturalism and for his contributions to the development of theatrical naturalism. Zola s best-known literary works include the twenty-volume Les Rougon-Macquart, an epic work that examined the influences of violence, alcohol and prostitution on French society through the experiences of two families, the Rougons and the Macquarts. Other remarkable works by Zola include Contes ? Ninon, Les Myst?res de Marseille, and Th?r?se Raquin.
In addition to his literary contributions, Zola played a key role in the Dreyfus Affair of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. His newspaper article J Accuse accused the highest levels of the French military and government of obstruction of justice and anti-semitism, for which he was convicted of libel in 1898. After a brief period of exile in England, Zola returned to France where he died in 1902. ?mile Zola is buried in the Panth?on alongside other esteemed literary figures Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas.
