Serge Mouret, the younger son of Francois Mouret (see La Conquete de Plassans), was ordained to the priesthood and appointed Cure of Les Artaud, a squalid village in Provence, to whose degenerate inhabitants he ministered with small encouragement. He had inherited the family taint of the Rougon-Macquarts, which in him took the same form as in the case of his mother-a morbid religious enthusiasm bordering on hysteria.

Serge Mouret, the younger son of Francois Mouret (see La Conquete de Plassans), was ordained to the priesthood and appointed Cure of Les Artaud, a squalid village in Provence, to whose degenerate inhabitants he ministered with small encouragement. He had inherited the family taint of the Rougon-Macquarts, which in him took the same form as in the case of his mother-a morbid religious enthusiasm bordering on hysteria. Brain fever followed, and bodily recovery left the priest without a mental past. Dr. Pascal Rougon, his uncle, hoping to save his reason, removed him from his accustomed surroundings and left him at the Paradou, the neglected demesne of a ruined mansion-house near Les Artaud, where he was nursed by Albine, niece of the caretaker.

Autorenporträt
Emile Zola, the towering figure of nineteenth-century French literature, was born in Paris in 1840. Zola was known for his naturalistic approach and sharp social commentary, and his writings frequently probed the complexity of human nature as well as the impact of society pressures on individual lives. His opus, "The Fat and the Thin" (also known as "Le Ventre de Paris"), demonstrates his literary prowess and long-lasting legacy. Published in 1873, "The Fat and the Thin" is a caustic satire of bourgeois society set against the backdrop of Parisian markets and neighborhoods. Zola's vivid characterization and thorough attention to detail create a vision of a society plagued by greed, duplicity, and moral degradation. Florent meets a range of characters representing various social groups as he navigates Paris's crowded streets, each battling with their own goals and ambitions. Through Florent's eyes, Zola reveals the harsh truths of poverty, inequality, and injustice, while also portraying moments of compassion and resilience. "The Fat and the Thin" is a forceful condemnation of the social inequities of the day, providing readers with a piercing analysis of the moral decay at the heart of bourgeois society. Emile Zola's seminal work continues to captivate readers today, asking them to examine the complexity of their own cultural structures and moral compass.
