413pages. poche. Broché. Florent est un naufragé de la vie, rêveur impénitent, insouciant, arrêté par erreur au lendemain du 2 décembre et conduit au bagne de Cayenne. Il parvient à s'évader, gagne Paris et retrouve son demi-frère, Quenu, charcutier aux Halles nouvellement construites, formidable ventre de Paris. Sur les conseils de Quenu et de sa belle-soeur, la sublime odalisque Lisa, il prend en charge un poste d'inspecteur au pavillon de la marée. Plongé dans l'abondance des victuailles, il est repris par un idéal de justice et de partage. Un idéal qui pourrait cependant le renvoyer une nouvelle fois à Cayenne. Troisième volume des Rougon-Macquart, Le Ventre de Paris, publié en 1873, jette un regard sans concession sur le Second Empire, partagé entre les fripouilles et les profiteurs, l'injustice pour les uns, la misère pour les autres. Remarquable fiction romanesque, c'est aussi un tableau de la capitale, où Zola, tel un impressionniste, à coups de petites touches, se fait le peintre de la modernité. On y trouve une histoire de Paris, du Second Empire, des notes relatives au fonctionnement de la police et surtout le décor somptueux des Halles, depuis son architecture en fer et en verre jusqu'à ces évocations superbes d'étalages de fruits et légumes, de viandes et poissons en toutes saisons. Autant d'évocations qui sont de véritables natures mortes, et qui n'en laissent pas moins flotter, au fil des pages, quelques parfums délicieux. -Céline Darner Quatrième de couverture Le Ventre de Paris, ce sont les Halles, avec leur « souffle colossal épais encore de l'indigestion de la veille », leurs montagnes de mangeailles, de viandes saignantes, « de choses fondantes, de choses grasses », de « gredins de légumes » d'où monte « le râle de tous les potagers de la banlieue ». « L'idée générale, écrit Zola, est le ventre, la bourgeoisie digérant, ruminant, la...

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.
