Items related to Therese Raquin
Thérèse Raquin was originally published in France in 1867. It tells the story of a young woman who is unhappily married to her first cousin by an overbearing aunt. Thérèse's husband, Camille, is sickly and selfish, and when the opportunity arises, Thérèse enters into a turbulent and sordidly passionate affair with one of Camille's friends, Laurent.In response to his critics, Zola explained that he sought to make an analytic study of temperament and not of character. "Thérèse and Laurent are human brutes," he wrote, "nothing more. I have sought to follow these brutes, step by step, in the secret labour of their passions, in the impulsion of their instincts, in the cerebral disorder resulting from the excessive strain on their nerves."Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therese_Raquin

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:
The most prominent French novelist of the late 19th century, critic, and chief advocate of the famous French Naturalism movement. Zola wrote about 60 works of fiction, criticism, and philosophy, out of which the famous ones include Les Rougon-Macquart (1852 - 1870), Le roman experimental (The Experimental Novel, 1893), Les romanciers naturalists (The Naturalist Novelists; 1881), I accuse (I accuse; 1898), and Verit (Truth; 1903). Zola's works depicts his up-front expose of social bias, his staunch vindication of the subjugated, and his firm conviction in the betterment of the human stipulation through exclusive and communal action.
