Synopsis

Émile Zola (1840-1902), nĂ Ă  Paris, est un Ăcrivain, journaliste et homme public français, considĂrĂ comme le chef de file du naturalisme. C’est l’un des romanciers français les plus universellement populaires, l’un des plus publiĂs et traduits au monde, le plus adaptĂ au cinĂma et Ă  la tĂlĂvision. Sa vie et son oeuvre ont ĂtĂ ĂtudiĂs dans le dĂtail par la science historique. Sur le plan littĂraire, il est principalement connu pour Les Rougon-Macquart, monumentale fresque romanesque en vingt volumes dĂpeignant la sociĂtĂ française du second empire. Les dernières annĂes de sa vie sont marquĂes par son engagement dans son Ăpoque, lors de l’affaire Dreyfus, dans laquelle il joue un r‘le dĂcisif par la publication du plus cĂlèbre article de la presse française: J’Accuse…! (1898).

About this title

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.
