Publisher: Elek, 1957

Edition: 1st UK thus

Binding: Hardback

Introduced and translated by Jean Stewart. In a break from the bleak social realism that had preceded, this is more of a psychological study, that Zola himself found a little too trivial at times. Nonetheless it is held up as one of the classics of French literature. Included is a contemporary newspaper review by well-known English author, Angus Wilson. There is some foxing to page and block edges; it opens a little loosely. The jacket has some loss to spine bottom and lower edge.  Rear a little grubby. But not price clipped and largely intact in good, presentable condition.

Book Condition: Very good

Jacket Condition: Good
