From the Back Cover:
'Therese Raquin' is a clinically observed, sinister tale of adultery and murder among the lower orders in nineteenth-century Paris. Zola's dispassionate dissection of the motivations of his characters, mere 'human beasts' who kill in order to satisfy their lust, is much more than an atmospheric Second Empire period-piece. 'Therese Raquin' stands as a key early manifesto of the French Naturalist movement, of which Zola was the founding father. Even today, this novel has lost none of its power to shock.
About the Author:
Helen Edmundson adapted Anna Karenina, The Mill on the Floss and War and Peace for Shared Experience. She also wrote the National Theatre’s enormously successful dramatisation of Coram Boy, and Swallows and Amazons seen in the West End.
Émile Zola (1840-1902) is one of the best-known 19th century novelists, famous for his espousal of Naturalism. Apart from Thérèse Raquin, his best known novels include Nana, La Bête Humaine and Germinal.
