"La Bete humaine (1890), the seventeenth novel in the Rougon-Macquart series, is one of Zola's most violent and explicit works. On one level a tale of murder, passion, and possession, it is also a compassionate study of individuals derailed by atavistic forces beyond their control. Zola considered this his 'most finely worked' novel, and in it he powerfully evokes life at the end of the Second Empire in France, where society seemed to be ..."

"Zola's masterpiece of working life, Germinal (1885), exposes the inhuman conditions of miners in northern France in the 1860s. By Zola's death in 1902 it had come to symbolize the call for freedom from oppression so forcefully that the crowd which gathered at his State funeral chanted 'Germinal! Germinal!'.

"A grim tale of adultery, murder and revenge, Thérèse Raquin's success upon its publication in 1868 was partly due to scandal, following the accusation of pornography. In reply Zola (1840-1902) defined the new creed of Naturalism in the famous preface which is printed in this volume. One of Zola's early works, it is full of black macabre poetry which has kept its tragic power for over a century."
