Sobre o livro
LibriVox recording of The Fortune of the Rougons by Émile Zola. (Translated by Ernest Alfred Vizetelly.) Read in English by Peter Tucker The Fortune of the Rougons (French: La Fortune des Rougon), originally published in 1871, is the first novel in Émile Zola's monumental twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart. In his introduction Zola indicates that this series is intended to demonstrate the interaction of heredity and environment along the lines of natural selection and evolution. While Zola's metascience is questionable, this novel is successful in its analysis of the interaction of momentous social and political events and the everyday lives and aspirations of a provincial society. In a satisfyingly intricate, vast and integrated plot, set in the time of Napoleon III's coup d'etat and establishment of the Second Empire, the fates and fortunes of the disparate descendents of one Provencal family are traced in detail. The novel ranges from idyll to cynical observation of base motives, and ends in a way that anticipates its many sequels. Summary by the soloist.

O autor
Émile Zola
Émile Zola (Paris, 2 de abril de 1840 – Paris, 29 de setembro de 1902) foi um consagrado escritor francês, considerado criador e representante mais expressivo da escola literária naturalista além de uma importante figura libertária da França. Foi presumivelmente assassinado por desconhecidos em 1902, quatro anos depois de ter publicado o famoso artigo J'accuse, em que acusa os responsáveis pelo processo fraudulento de que Alfred Dreyfus foi vítima.
