Most famous for his twenty-volume dissection of nineteenth-century
French mores and society, the Rougon-Macquart novels, Zola was also
an extremely accomplished short-story writer, as exemplified by the
tales included in this volume. Concerned with the manifold aspects
of everyday life and varying in their settings - from aristocratic
drawing rooms to poverty-stricken garrets, from the hustle and
bustle of Paris to the Provencal countryside of the author's
childhood - these stories will keep the reader riveted from the
beginning to the end and surprise for their modernity. Contains:
The Attack on the Mill The Girl Who Loves Me Rentafoil Death by
Advertising Story of a Madman Big Michu The Way People Die A Flash
in the Pan Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder Priests and Sinners
Fair Exchange The Haunted House
