Fortune of the Rougons
The Fortune of the Rougons, published in 1871, is the first novel in Émile Zola's twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart. The novel explores the interplay of heredity and environment against the backdrop of Napoleon III's coup d'état and the rise of the Second Empire. It intricately details the fortunes of a Provencal family, reflecting on social and political upheaval while blending idyllic moments with cynical observations of human motives. This work is notable for its early exploration of naturalism and social commentary.
