• Two of Emile Zola's best-known books are bound together in this Kindle edition: His Masterpiece and Thérèse Raquin
His Masterpiece
L'œuvre (as it is known in French) is a fictional account of Zola's friendship with Paul Cézanne and a fairly accurate portrayal of the Parisian art world in the mid 19th century.
Thérèse Raquin (1867)
Thérèse Raquin was Zola's third book and the one that gave him notoriety. The novel revolves around a woman pressured to marry her cousin Camille, an egocentric man. In search of herself, she finds solace in an erotic affair with her husband's friend, Laurent.
