About this ebook
Unlock the more straightforward side of The Earth with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!
This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Earth by Émile Zola, a richly detailed account of a farming community with such a strong attachment to the earth that it drives them to unthinkably dark deeds in order to preserve their claims to their family’s land. The Earth forms part of Les Rougon-Macquart, an ambitious cycle of 20 novels which tells the story of one extended family under the Second French Empire. Émile Zola was the leading figure of the literary school of naturalism, as well as an influential social thinker, and is now regarded as one of France’s greatest novelists.
