The first of a series of more than twenty novels, "The Fortune of
the Rougons" presents the passions and conflicts of two families --
one wealthy and aiming at the aristocracy, the other working-class
and in desperate poverty -- in a French village in the years
leading up to Napoleon III's coup against the weak French republic
and the triumph of his Second Empire. The great political tides of
their time flow in, mingling national rivalries with the personal
and familial passions of the one town and two families. Zola ties
together the triumph of schemers on the national level with the
victory of cunning, deceit, and wealth over those hoping merely for
the safety of their loves and the chance at an honest life.
