eBook: "Respectable people...What bastards!"Rake-thin and exhausted prisoner Florent, wrongly convicted during the 1848 Revolution, escapes and seeks refuge with his half-brother in Paris. Florent finds a job at the local central market Les Halles. Initially he is met with a baffled but friendly warmth. But this warmth soon erodes into a poisonous animosity in an atmosphere shot with insidious political intrigue, petty rivalries and perfidious gossip from the "respectable people", that impinge upon the Florent's safety and wellbeing. 'The Fat and the Thin' is the third installment of the 'Les Rougon-Macquart' series packed with powerful social commentary comparing those in power (the fat) to those in the lower classes (the thin).

Příběh kurtizány Nany, která nemá žádný pěvecký ani herecký talent, a přesto díky své kráse získá věhlas jako divadelní herečka. Střídají se u ní bohatí milenci, které Nana trápí svými rozmary a zbyvuje je peněz i důstojnosti. Syrový příběh plný naturalistických scén je devátým románem z cyklu Rougon-Macquartové a volně navazuje na román Zabiják. Zolovi se zde podařilo velmi barvitě vykreslit prostředí nevěstinců, kabaretů. ale především společnosti, kde morálka nemá místo, ale zato je plné pokrytectví, nestoudnosti a hrubosti, i když navenek krytými leskem a přepychem. Zola se i v této próze představuje jako mistr literárního naturalismu.

Jedna z najväčších afér konca 19. storočia – Dreyfusova aféra – mala silnú odozvu v dobovej tlači. Najznámejšou osobnosťou, ktorá sa k afére vyjadrila, bol významný francúzsky spisovateľ Émile Zola vo svojom známom pamflete pod názvom J'accuse...!, teda „Žalujem...!“.

This is a major new translation of one of the most popular classics of all time, now in a gorgeous deluxe edition. Emma Bovary is beautiful and bored, trapped in her marriage to a mediocre doctor and stifled by the banality of provincial life. An ardent reader of sentimental novels, she longs for passion and seeks escape in fantasies of high romance, in voracious spending and, eventually, in adultery. But even her affairs bring her disappointment and the consequences are devastating. Flaubert's erotically charged and psychologically acute portrayal of Emma Bovary caused a moral outcry on its publication in 1857. It was deemed so lifelike that many women claimed they were the model for his heroine; but Flaubert insisted: '"Madame Bovary", c'est moi'.
