Therese Raquin is the story of a young woman mired in a loveless
marriage to a sickly, self-centered man. Trapped in a house owned
by her pitiless mother-in-law, she yearns for love and escape. She
finds it in the arms of her husband's best friend--and the only way
they can find happiness is through murder. What follows is the
stuff of nightmares. Emile Zola's story is as vibrant today as it
was when it was written 150 years ago. Scorned by critics for the
perversity and violence of his characters, Zola nonetheless went on
to be one of the greatest and most popular writers in the history
of literature. Soon to be a Major Motion Picture, Therese Raquin is
a compelling and modern story of guilt and its consequences. This
edition is amplified by an important introduction by Stephen R.
Pastore, one of the world's leading Zola scholars and the addition
of material for use by Book Discussion Groups as well as the Movie
Tie-In edition.
