The renowned French author, Emile Zola was determined to produce a new type of
novel that would probe deeply into every area of human existence, and document
every social ill, no matter how politically sensitive. He called his new school
of fiction, naturalism, and he wrote a series of 20 novels between 1871 and 1893
about one family, the Rougon-Macquart's, to illustrate his theories. After 1893
his novels are less objective and more evangelistic. They include the series "The
Three Cities", comprising of "Lourdes"(1894), "Rome"(1896)
and "Paris"(1898)… Lucas uses an enticing lady, shoulders bared,
writing quill in hand, basking in the moonlight, to elegantly announce the publication
of Emile Zola's novel "Rome" in the popular Paris publication "Le
Journal". | |
