A wide-ranging exploration of Zola’s oeuvre, this collection of articles tackles the major themes in his work but also the aspects which have been less studied: irony, the fantastic, religion, and decadence. It brings the richness of the Zola imaginary and its profound obsessions (flesh, force, and sacrifice) to the fore.

Jacques Noiray est professeur émérite à Sorbonne Université. Ses travaux portent sur le roman réaliste et naturaliste français du XIXe siècle (Honoré de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert et Émile Zola). Il s’intéresse également à la littérature et la science au XIXe siècle (Jules Verne et Villiers de l’Isle-Adam).
