Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The Masterpiece is the tragic story of Claude Lantier, an ambitious
and talented young artist from the provinces who has come to
conquer Paris and is conquered by the flaws in his own genius.
While his boyhood friend Pierre Sandoz becomes a successful
novelist, Claude's originality is mocked at the Salon and turns
gradually into a doomed obsession with one great canvas. Life - in
the form of his model and wife Christine and their deformed child
Jacques - is sacrificed on the altar of Art. The Masterpiece is the
most autobiographical of the twenty novels in Zola's
Rougon-Macquart series. Set in the 1860s and 1870s, it provides a
unique insight into his career as a writer and his relationship
with Cezanne, a friend since their schooldays in Aix-en-Provence.
It also presents a well-documented account of the turbulent Bohemia
world in which the Impressionists came to prominence despit the
conservatism of the Academy and the ridicule of the general public.
ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has
made available the widest range of literature from around the
globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to
scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of
other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading
