Autorenporträt

Émile Zola was a French novelist, journalist, and the most prominent figure in the literary school of naturalism. Zola is best known for his detailed and unflinching depictions of French society. His works explore themes of social injustice, human nature, and the influence of environment and heredity on personal fate.Zola's most famous work is the Les Rougon-Macquart series, a sprawling cycle of 20 novels that trace the lives of multiple generations of a family, set against the backdrop of Second Empire France. The series includes notable works like Germinal, a powerful novel about coal miners' struggles, Thérèse Raquin, a dark tale of passion and murder, and The Downfall (La Débâcle), which explores the impact of the Franco-Prussian War. His work was a critical reflection on the failings of society, and he championed the rights of the working class and the oppressed Zola's influence on literature was immense, and his works are considered foundational to the naturalist movement.
