Émile Zola: A Determined Life
Autor Robert Lethbridgeen Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 mai 2025
Émile Zola is widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest writers, whose reputation was reinforced by his historic intervention in the Dreyfus Affair. This book explores Zola’s life and work and how these were determined by the traumatic history of his times. From humble beginnings, Zola’s life was marked by the determination to succeed. Robert Lethbridge traces his development as a writer, including Zola’s earliest texts and his novel cycles, and further shows how Zola’s extraordinary creativity extended from his journalism to experiments in the theater and even to his own operatic adaptations of his novels. Lethbridge offers the reader new perspectives, informed by the most recent research, which bring together Zola’s writing and its historical context.

Recenzii
"Lethbridge’s evocative, deeply felt biography is a tour de force of the biographical genre and a consummate study of the entanglements of Zola’s extraordinary life and his work. Through his nuanced plotting of the autobiographical, contextual, literary, and political determinants of his complex, often conflicted subject, Lethbridge illuminates the life trajectory of this iconic figure."
