Serge Mouret, the younger son of Francois Mouret (see La Conquete
de Plassans), was ordained to the priesthood and appointed cure of
Les Artaud, a squalid village in Provence, to whose degenerate
inhabitants he ministered with small encouragement. He had
inherited the family taint of the Rougon-Macquarts, which in him
took the same form as in the case of his mother--a morbid religious
enthusiasm bordering on hysteria. Brain fever followed, and bodily
recovery left the priest without a mental past. Dr. Pascal Rougon,
his uncle, hoping to save his reason, removed him from his
accustomed surroundings and left him at the Paradou, the neglected
demesne of a ruined mansion-house near Les Artaud, where he was
nursed by Albine, niece of the caretaker.

Emile Zola was French novelist who wrote in the school of
naturalism and is noted for his work in revolutionizing France. The
Rougon-Macquart series brought Zola literary fame and is considered
his life work. It took 25 years to finish the 20 volumes. The idea
for writing the social history of a family encompassing several
volumes probably came from his reading the works of Balzac. Zola
shows how people in a family who appear to be quite individualistic
actually are quite similar. Heredity and proximity determine who we
are and how we act. This is an excellent companion piece for anyone
studying the Rougon-Macquart.
