Der häusliche Herd (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Der häusliche Herd Emile Zola - Im zehnten Band der Rougon-Macquard-Reihe, der Saga einer Familie unter dem Zweiten Kaiserreich, schildert Zola das heuchlerische, verlogene, zum Schein sittsam tuende, dabei durch und durch verderbte und lasterhafte Bürgertum. Wir werden in ein großes Pariser Haus eingeführt, wo äußerlich alles so ordentlich, so streng, so fein säuberlich zugeht. Schon die hohen Türen auf den Fluren flößen Achtung ein; hinter diesen Türen aber, fast in jeder Wohnung, hausen Laster und Verworfenheit. Im Mittelpunkte der Geschehnisse steht Octave Mouret, ein Sohn Franz Mourets. Der junge Mann ist aus Plassans nach Paris gekommen, um da sein Glück zu machen, was ihm bei seiner angeborenen Zähigkeit und Geschicklichkeit auch gelingt, wie wir im folgenden elften Bande sehen werden.

Autorenporträt

More than half of Zola's novels were part of a set of 20 books collectively known as Les Rougon-Macquart. Unlike Balzac who in the midst of his literary career resynthesized his work into La Comédie Humaine, Zola from the start at the age of 28 had thought of the complete layout of the series. Set in France's Second Empire, the series traces the "environmental" influences of violence, alcohol and prostitution which became more prevalent during the second wave of the Industrial Revolution. The series examines two branches of a family: the respectable (that is, legitimate) Rougons and the disreputable (illegitimate) Macquarts for five generations.As he described his plans for the series, "I want to portray, at the outset of a century of liberty and truth, a family that cannot restrain itself in its rush to possess all the good things that progress is making available and is derailed by its own momentum, the fatal convulsions that accompany the birth of a new world."Although Zola and Cézanne were friends from childhood, they broke in later life over Zola's fictionalized depiction of Cézanne and the Bohemian life of painters in his novel L'uvre (The Masterpiece, 1886).From 1877 with the publication of L'Assommoir, Émile Zola became wealthy, he was better paid than Victor Hugo, for example. He became a figurehead among the literary bourgeoisie and organized cultural dinners with Guy de Maupassant, Joris-Karl Huysmans and other writers at his luxurious villa in Medan near Paris after 1880. Germinal in 1885, then the three 'cities', Lourdes in 1894, Rome in 1896 and Paris in 1897, established Zola as a successful author.The self-proclaimed leader of French naturalism, Zola's works inspired operas such as those of Gustave Charpentier, notably Louise in the 1890s. His works, inspired by the concepts of heredity (Claude Bernard), social manichaeism and idealistic socialism, resonate with those of Nadar, Manet and subsequently Flaubert.
