Work (1901) is a novel by French author Émile Zola. Published as
the second installment of his Les Quatre Évangiles, a series of
four novels inspired by the New Testament gospels and aimed at
investigating prominent social issues, Work was the last of
Zola’s novels to be published during his lifetime. Combining his
trademark naturalist style with an interest in Charles Fourier’s
theory of socialist utopianism, Zola crafts a story of hardship and
perseverance without losing sight of humanity. Luc Fremont, an
engineer, travels to a town at the heart of an important French
industrial region. While staying in Beaumont, he is struck by the
widespread poverty suffered by the working class, the very people
whose expertise and labor is essential to the economic health of
the nation. Calling upon an old friend, who owns a local
steelworks, Luc enters into a deal in order to manage the
production of La Crêcherie under an experimental cooperative
model. With his determination and the hard work of the people, Luc
establishes the steelworks as a functioning independent city-state,
known for its profit-sharing, free housing, and focus on the lives
of its workers and their families. As news of their success begins
to spread, similar experiments take place across France and the
globe, harnessing the transformative power of industry for the sake
of people, not profit. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Émile Zola’s
Work is a classic work of French literature reimagined for modern
readers.
