Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Minor exterior wear. Rare and collectible copy of this work, with a lengthy inscription from the author to his friend, which reads "Dear Snook, Bet you thought this would never be done, so Annabelle got this for you as proof. I remember Annabelle helping me pick up the manuscript…which I had dropped on the floor in the lounge on the DEFIANCE, while Mary Ellen laughed. Hope you enjoy brousing this work. Zole's not half bad. Sorry we didn't get to see you down here this spring, but another time I hope. This dedication has almost become a letter. Love, Jack Frey, April 25, 1979." This is a critique of the Rougon-Macquart, the collective title given to French novelist Émile Zola's greatest literary achievement, a monumental twenty-novel cycle about the exploits of various members of an extended family during the French Second Empire, from the coup d'état of December 1851 which established Napoleon III as Emperor through to the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War of 1871 which brought the Empire down. SIGNED, PRESENTATION COPY. Book.
