Emile Zola's story of adultery, murder, and madness--soon to be
a major motion picture starring Elizabeth Olsen and Jessica Lange
In a dingy apartment on the Passage du Pont-Neuf in Paris, Therese
Raquin is trapped in a loveless marriage to her sickly cousin,
Camille. The numbing tedium of her life is suddenly shattered when
she embarks on a turbulent affair with her husband's earthy friend
Laurent, but their animal passion for each other soon compels the
lovers to commit a crime that will haunt them forever. "Therese
"caused a scandal when it appeared in 1867 and brought its
twenty-seven-year-old author a notoriety that followed him
throughout his life. Zola's novel is not only an uninhibited
portrayal of adultery, madness, and ghostly revenge, but also a
devastating exploration of the darkest aspects of human
existence.
