Truth (1903) is a novel by French author Émile Zola. Published as
the third installment of his Les Quatre Évangiles, a series of
four novels inspired by the New Testament gospels and aimed at
investigating prominent social issues, Truth was the last of
Zola’s novels to be published when it appeared the year after his
death. Combining his trademark naturalist style with aspects of his
experience advocating on behalf of Alfred Dreyfus, a French Jew
falsely convicted of spying, Zola crafts a story of prejudice and
institutional corruption without losing sight of humanity. In a
rural village in France, a young boy is discovered murdered and
sexually assaulted in his own bedroom. Shocked and outraged, the
people of the village initially turn toward a local vagrant as a
suspect. As his innocence becomes more and more apparent, however,
a story begins to circulate blaming the boy’s uncle, a Jewish
schoolmaster, who supposedly resented his brother’s marriage to a
Catholic woman. Spurred on by the local church, run by the
Christian Brothers, the people stoke the flames of antisemitism
while alienating the town’s growing secular minority in order to
scapegoat an influential—and innocent—Jewish man. Truth is a
terrifying, essential novel that looks unsparingly at the
prejudices rampant in European society only decades before the
Holocaust. Zola’s final novel is a thrilling examination of the
interconnected nature of politics, religion, and the press, and a
rallying cry for those brave souls who dare to take a stand against
violence and oppression. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Émile Zola’s
Truth is a classic work of French literature reimagined for modern
readers.

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.

Lourdes (1894) is a novel by French author Émile Zola. Lourdes is
the first installment in Zola’s celebrated Three Cities Trilogy.
Published toward the end of Zola’s career, the trilogy is an
ambitious, sweeping study of one man’s struggle with faith in
political, religious, and social life. Following his protagonist
Abbé Pierre Froment, Zola provides a striking portrait of the soul
of modern man in crisis with itself and with an ever-changing
world. Lourdes opens as Abbé Froment departs on a journey from
Paris to the holy city of Lourdes. Accompanied by his childhood
love, a woman who was paralyzed in an accident at the age of
thirteen, Froment hopes to rediscover his faith and to reestablish
his position in a beleaguered Catholic Church. There, they meet a
series of diverse pilgrims, all of them dissatisfied, all of them
searching for something to change or to hold onto. For Froment,
this journey begins as a way to help an old friend and becomes a
chance at redeeming his wayward soul. At Lourdes, surrounded by
desperate, yet faithful people, he begins to remember what brought
him to God in the first place. Inspired by his experiences there,
he wonders if one priest could change the Church for the better.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of Émile Zola’s Lourdes is a classic
work of French literature reimagined for modern readers.

Paris (1898) is a novel by French author Émile Zola. Paris is the
final installment in Zola’s celebrated Three Cities Trilogy.
Published toward the end of Zola’s career, the trilogy is an
ambitious, sweeping study of one man’s struggle with faith in
political, religious, and social life. Following his protagonist
Abbé Pierre Froment, Zola provides a striking portrait of the soul
of modern man in crisis with itself and with an ever-changing
world. Paris finds Abbé Froment back in his home city,
disheartened in his life and in his faith. Having failed in his
quest to reform the Church, he turns his attention from
institutional change to helping the poor and sick. As his
reputation as an almsgiver grows, he draws the ire of his Church
superiors, who are wary of his socialistic ideals. Regardless,
Pierre dedicates himself to his subjects, taking in the poverty and
destitution of a great city’s slums and forgetting his former
ambitions. When a near-death experience involving an anarchist
bombing brings him back in touch with his estranged brother
Guillaume, Froment begins to wonder whether his fate must rely on
an institution unwilling, and perhaps unable, to change. In the
thrilling conclusion to his Three Cities Trilogy, Zola explores the
meaning of faith in a faithless world through the eyes of one good
man. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of Émile Zola’s Paris is a classic work
of French literature reimagined for modern readers.

Rome (1896) is a novel by French author Émile Zola. Rome is the
second installment in Zola’s celebrated Three Cities Trilogy.
Published toward the end of Zola’s career, the trilogy is an
ambitious, sweeping study of one man’s struggle with faith in
political, religious, and social life. Following his protagonist
Abbé Pierre Froment, Zola provides a striking portrait of the soul
of modern man in crisis with itself and with an ever-changing
world. In Rome, Abbé Froment—inspired by his pilgrimage to the
holy city of Lourdes—writes a book on socialistic Catholicism
aimed at reforming the Church in order to benefit its most
vulnerable subjects. Facing censure from Vatican officials, he
travels to the heart of the Catholic world, where he hopes to gain
an audience with the Pope in order to vindicate himself. Filled
with hope, and perhaps more than a little naïve, Froment believes
he can inspire radical institutional changes for the Church. When
he gets to Rome, however, he finds himself waiting endlessly for
his chance to arrive. As days turn into weeks, and weeks turn to
months, Pierre grows tired of the city’s ancient beauty, which
never fails to remind him of his fate as a member of an institution
brought low by its commitment to tradition. Soon, he is faced with
a choice—to continue to hope for change, or to change his own,
small life. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Émile Zola’s Rome is a
classic work of French literature reimagined for modern readers.
