Excerpt from Contes à Ninon
Pauvre terre desséchée, elle flamboie au soleil, grise et nue, entre les prairies grasses et fertiles de la Du rance et les bois d'orangers et de lauriers-roses du littoral. Je l'aime pour sa beauté âpre et sauvage, ses roches désolées, ses thyms et ses lavandes. 11 y a dans ce vallon stérile je ne sais quel air brûlant de désola tion: un étrange ouragan de passion semble avoir soufflé sur la contrée; puis un grand accablement s'est fait, et les campagnes, ardentes encore, se sont comme endormies dan's un dernier désir. Aujourd'hui, au mi lieu de mes forêts du Nord, lorsque je revois en pensée ces poussières et ces cailloux, je me sens un amour profond pour cette patrie sévère qui n'est pas la mienne. Sané doute, l'enfant rieur etles vieilles roches chagrines s'étaient autrefois pris de tendresse, et, maintenant, l'enfant devenu homme dédaigne les prés humides et les vertes allées, amoureux des grandes routes blanches et des montagnes brûlées et désertes, où son âme, fraîche de ses quinze ans, a rêvé ses pre miers songes.

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.
