I was fascinated by the character Sandoz, a novelist, whom Zola based on himself: "I, who bestow every care on my books — I despise myself, for I feel that, despite all my efforts, they are incomplete and untruthful."Michael Segershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867754585281503967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584058713548027639.post-45491771408151143072018-03-26T14:07:56.123+07:002018-03-26T14:07:56.123+07:00Ah yes, The Masterpiece is unique because it touch...Ah yes, The Masterpiece is unique because it touched Zola's own life and world.

I will also read the OWC's A Love Story, along with The Sin of Abbe Mouret.<br /><br />I have read all three of the titles you mentioned. It depends.. if you read for pleasure, La Debacle is the most enjoyable. It's interesting too because it's the only historical fiction Zola ever wrote. But if you are interested in tackling the heredity issue, you'll find The Fortunes of Rougons important and interesting, as it lays Zola's foundation to built his case. "Money" is less interesting (at least to me); it deals a lot with stock market and financial terms. So, take time to choose. Let me know your choice at the end: I'm curious! :DFanda Classiclithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642429343958941266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584058713548027639.post-70035540515737615792018-02-22T18:41:38.034+07:002018-02-22T18:41:38.034+07:00I definitely want to read some Zola this April!

I also have Money, The Fortunes of the Rougons, and La Debacle. Have you read any of them? Which do you recommend?Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.com
