Synopsis

A ce moment, le gendarme Rengade écarta brusquement la foule des curieux. Dès qu'il avait appris que la troupe revenait avec plusieurs centaines d'insurgés, il s'était levé. Dehors, sa blessure se rouvrit, le bandeau qui cachait son orbite vide se tacha de sang. Sa tête pâle enveloppée d'un linge ensanglanté, il courut regarder chaque prisonnier au visage, longuement. Et, tout d'un coup : " Ah ! le bandit, je le tiens ! " cria-t-il. Il venait de mettre la main sur l'épaule de Silvère. Rengade se tourna vers l'officier, qui n'avait pu trouver parmi les soldats les hommes nécessaires à une exécution. "Ce gredin m'a crevé l'oeil, lui dit-il en montrant Silvère. Donnez-le-moi... Ce sera autant de fait pour vous".

About this title

About the Author

?mile Zola was a French writer who is recognized as an exemplar of literary naturalism and for his contributions to the development of theatrical naturalism. Zola s best-known literary works include the twenty-volume Les Rougon-Macquart, an epic work that examined the influences of violence, alcohol and prostitution on French society through the experiences of two families, the Rougons and the Macquarts. Other remarkable works by Zola include Contes ? Ninon, Les Myst?res de Marseille, and Th?r?se Raquin.

In addition to his literary contributions, Zola played a key role in the Dreyfus Affair of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. His newspaper article J Accuse accused the highest levels of the French military and government of obstruction of justice and anti-semitism, for which he was convicted of libel in 1898. After a brief period of exile in England, Zola returned to France where he died in 1902. ?mile Zola is buried in the Panth?on alongside other esteemed literary figures Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas.
