La Bte humaine (1890), the seventeenth novel in the RougonMacquart series, is one of Zola's most violent and explicit works. On one level a tale of murder, passion, and possession, it is also a compassionate study of individuals derailed by atavistic forces beyond their control. This new translation captures Zola's fastpaced yet deliberately dispassionate style, while the introduction and detailed notes place the novel in its social, historical, and literary context.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
