Autorenporträt
Émile Zola (1840–1902) was a French novelist and the leading figure of the literary school of naturalism. He is widely acknowledged for his contributions to the development of a novelistic tradition that couples meticulous observation with an unabashed depiction of society's ills. His works often scrutinized the impact of environment and heredity on human behavior, and he was unflinching in his portrayal of the realities of class and the burgeoning industrial society. Zola's publishing career was prolific, encompassing more than twenty novels, such as the highly regarded 'Les Rougon-Macquart,' a cycle of twenty novels that follows a family over several generations. Another prominent work, 'Truth' ['Vérité'], parallels Zola's dedication to social justice, revealing his deep concern for the truth and the disastrous impact of false accusations. His literary style combined detailed realism with narrative drama, aiming to dissect the corrupt elements of society while captivating his readers with enthralling storytelling. Zola's influence on literature cannot be overstated, and his legacy includes his impassioned defense of Alfred Dreyfus, which was manifested in the famous open letter 'J'accuse…!' His commitment to naturalism and reform left indelible marks on both the novel as an art form and the role of the intellectual in public life.
