Synopsis
347pages. poche. broché. Jacques, sans se retourner, de sa main droite, tâtonnante en arrière, avait pris le couteau. Il fixait sur Séverine ses yeux fous, il n'avait plus que le besoin de la jeter morte sur son dos. La porte d'épouvante s'ouvrait sur ce gouffre noir du sexe, l'amour jusque dans la mort, détruire pour posséder davantage. "Jacques, Jacques. Moi, mon Dieu! Pourquoi ? pourquoi ?" Et il abattit le poing, et le couteau lui cloua la question dans la gorge. Avait-elle crié ? il ne le sut jamais. A cette seconde passait l'express de Paris, si violent, si rapide que le plancher en trembla; et elle était morte, comme foudroyée dans cette tempête.

From the Back Cover
Did possessing and killing amount to the same thing deep within the dark recesses of the human beast? La Bete humaine (1890), the seventeenth novel in the Rougon-Macquart series, is one of Zola's most violent and explicit works. On one level a tale of murder, passion, and possession, it is also a compassionate study of individuals derailed by atavistic forces beyond their control.
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.
