DESCRIPTION: French-language edition of Zola's early novel, a "succés de scandale" originally published in 1868, two years before he was to begin work on his famous and momumental cycle, Les Rougon-Macquart. The story of an unhappy woman who entered into an affair is an early work of the naturalism movement, of which Zola was long a part.

This reprint edition is likely from the mid-1980s, circa 1984 (based on barcode and IFEP stamp).
CONDITION: An attractive copy of this long-term denizen of the Livre de Poche line (it's number 34, if that tells you anything). Covers very good, except for crease across the front cover, only light wear to corners, spine sound and unbroken. Slight age-toning to text block. Blue text-block edging faded in places, but nice overall. Bookstore stamp on IFEP, along with pencilled re-sale price.
