'He loved power for power's sake . . . He was without question the greatest of the Rougons.'His Excellency Eugne Rougon (1876) is the sixth novel in Zola's twentyvolume RougonMacquart cycle. A political novel set in the corridors of power and in the upper echelons of French Second Empire society, including the Imperial court, it focuses on the fluctuating fortunes of the authoritarian Eugne Rougon, the "viceEmperor." But it is more than just a chronicle. It plunges the reader into the essential dynamics of the political: the rivalries, the scheming, the jockeying for position, the ups and downs, the play of interests, the lobbying and gossip, the patronage and stringpulling, the bribery and blackmail, and, especially, the manipulation of language for political purposes. The novel's themesespecially its treatment of political discoursehave remarkable contemporary resonance. His Excellency Eugne Rougon is about politics everywhere.
