With Zola in England THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES IN MEMORY OF MRS. VIRGINIA B. SPORER NOVELS BY EMILE ZOLA. Crown 8vo. cloth extra. 3*. 6d. each. VOLUMES OF THE 'ROUGON-MACQUART' SERIES. THE FAT AND THE THIN ('LE VENTRE DE PARIS') Translated by ERNEST ALFRED VIZETELLY. ' A very satisfactory rendering, which has preserved the passion, the humour, and the terrlb'e insight of the original. Zola has never drawn a picture more pitilessly faithful to the lower side of our common humanity than this is. ... A drama which reads like a page torn out of the book of life itself.' SPEAKER. ' The characters are drawn with a master hand, and the two rival beauties will bear comparison with any of the portraits in the author's literary gallery.' GLASGOW HERALD. THE DRAM-SHOP ('L'AssoMMOiR'). With a Preface by E. A. VIZETELLY. ' " " After reading L'Assommoir and Zola's other books, it seems as if in the work of veil all other novelists there were a between the reader and the things described ; and there is present to our minds the same difference as exists between a human face as represented on canvas and the same face as reflected in a mirror. It is like finding truth for the first time.' SIGNOR EDMONDO DE AMICIS. MONEY ('L'ARGENT'). Translated by E. A. VIZETELLY. ' " No one will be able to read Money" without a deep sense of its absolute truth. Everything in the novel is on a grand scale. ... A vast panorama of national viciousness. An overpowering presentation of the disasters wrought by the unbridled race for wealth.' MORNING LEADER. ' it to of this one of Zola's never has his brilliant Suffice say boo_k, masterpieces, that been used with such realistic, life-like force. The figure of Sacard is a terrible, Eeniscinatine creation. His love of money, his love of women (an altogether secondary impulse), his fixed hatred of the Jews, become more real than reality itself.' VANITY FAIR. HIS EXCELLENCY ('SON EXCELLENCE EUGENE ROUGON'). With a Preface by E. A. VIZETELLY. "The book is one of the most remarkable of the monumental series which its author built up to depict the social history of a family under the Second Empire. It follows the career of an adventurous statesman who rose to power under Napoleon III., and whose ambitious and unscrupulous nature, whose intrigues at Court, whose fortunes in affairs of the heart, and whose following of varied hangers-on, ambitious like himself, are all depicted as from the life. The book itself warrants its fidelity to fact by compelling belief instinctively.' SCOTSMAN. Translated ELIZA E. THE DREAM ('LE RKVE'). by CHASE. With 8 Full-page Illustrations by GEORGES JEANNIOT. 1 M. Zola has sought in this charming story to prove to the world that he too can write for the virgin, and that he can paint the better side of human nature in colours as tender and true as those employed by any of his contemporaries. ... It is a beautiful story admirably told.' SPEAKER. THE FORTUNE OF THE ROUGONS. Edited by E. A. VIZETELLY. ' Full of a rather sombre humour, ricli satire, and unsparing social analysis. To the reader who takes an interest in the personality of Zola, "The Fortune of the Rougons" has a unique value, for in its pages the author has drawn upon the recollections of his youih. Should you be consumed with a desire to pluck the heart out of Zola's '' " koueon-Macquart volume*, it will be to read the lir-l and the last of lh<- " necessary" series, The Fortunes of the Rougons" and Dr. Pascal."' MOKNINC; LEADER. NOVELS BY EMILE ZOLA. THE ABBE MOURET'S TRANSGRESSION. Edited by ERNEST A. VIZETELLY. [Shortly. Translated E. A. THE DOWNFALL (' LA DEBACLE '). by VIZETELLY. With 2 Plans of the Battle of Sedan. ' " " It would be no to that taken as a whole, La Deb&cle probably exaggeration say ; is the most faithful of an historical drama ever committed to " wonderfully reproduction writing. La DgbScle" is an appalling record of long-drawn-out misery, profligacy, and military and official incapacity, unbroken by any ray of hope or sunshine." SPECTATOR. * " " It is only when you have come to the end of The Downfall that you appreciate the feverish hurry in which you have read page after page, and that you know the splendid art with which M. Zola has concealed the fervour, the pity, the agony, and the inspiration with which he has told the tale.' SUNDAY SUN. DOCTOR PASCAL. Translated by E. A. VIZETELLY. With an Etched Portrait of the Author. 'This book, the crown and conclusion of the Rougon-Macquart volumes, strikes us as being in some respects the most powerful, the most dramatic, and the most pathetic.' TIMES. ' Dr. Pascal Rougon, the skilled physician, and the only member of his family that has escaped the fatal taint of vice, here sits in judgment upon his relatives and compatriots, and the causes of their moral decline and fall. The work further deals with explains many" of the great problems of the time, and incidentally with the much-debated question, Is Christianity Played Out?" Artistically blended, however, with this controversial matter, and the deeply interesting researches of the hero, is an absorbing love-story, the scene of which is laid under the burning sky of Provence, which fires the human heart with passion and maddens it to crime.' ECHO. THE 'THREE CITIES' SERIES. LOURDES. Translated by E. A. VIZETELLY. 1 A great and notable book. The glory of the book is the inexhaustible, over- human which transfuses it from end to end. As the heart is flowing sympathy " you read, set beating. Instead of a mere name, Lourdes" will always be something of a reality to every reader of Zola's admirable pages. ... In almost every respect a signal triumph a book to be read and to be thankful for.' NATIONAL OBSERVER. 'The most perfect specimen of literary art yet produced by M. Zola. Beyond question his best-written book, a model of powerful and poetic narrative, brilliant in style, in form, and in colour.' GRAPHIC. ROME. Translated by E. A. VIZETELLY. 1 A very great book. We judge it as a work of art, and as such we must accord it very high praise. Every part, great or small, fits perfectly into the whole . The Pope, the Cardinals, and all the lesser dignitaries of the Church against which the writer brings his great indictment are so painted that neither such greatness as is in themselves, nor the greatness of the cause which they represent, shall be forgotten in the littleness of some of the methods to which they stoop.' GUARDIAN. PARIS. Translated by E. A. VIZETELLY. ' These pictures of Parisian life are worthy of M. Zola at his best. The author's passionate love of the poor, his intolerance of their sufferings, his intense hatred of all social wrongs, and longing for reform have never been declared with more sincerity, more eloquence, and more ability. "Paris" will bring him new admirers and new friends, for it shows him to be not only a great writer but a man of noble aspirations and splendid courage.' PALL MALL GAZETTE. London : CHATTO & WINDUS, in St. Martin's Lane, W.C. KMILE ZOLA IN HIS ENGLISH GARDEN (Sept. 1898) WITH ZOLA IN ENGLAND A STORY OF EXILE TOLD BY ERNEST ALFRED VIZETELLY WITH FOUR PORTRAITS LONDON CHATTO & W INDUS 1899 PRINTED BY SPOTTISWOODE AND CO., NEW-STREET SQUARE LONDON College Library TO VIOLETTE AND TO VICTOR TO DORA AND TO BOTH MARIES DEAR WIFE AND ROMPING DAUGHTER I LOVINGLY INSCRIBE THIS LITTLE BOOK He begged for Light ! . Lo, Darkness fell, And round him cast its stifling pall ! In vain he clamoured ! Ev'ry Hell Poured forth its fumes to drown his call. He cried for Truth ! . Lo, Falsehood came, In robes of Impudence array'd, Polluting Patriotism's name, Degrading Honour to a trade. He asked for Justice ! . Lo, between Him and the judgment-seat there rose The Sword of Menace, ever keen To smite the braggart War-Wolfs foes ! Light, Truth, and Justice all denied, He struggled on 'mid threat and blow A brave Voice battling by his side Till Error's minions struck him low. Yet is his faith not dead, nor mine : O'er deepest gloom, o'er worst distress, Ever the mighty Sun doth shine Aglow with Truth and Righteousness. The blackest clouds are rent at last ; And the divine resistless flame Through all, some morn, its blaze shall cast, The Wrong disclose, the Right proclaim ! E. A. V. February 23, 1898. {.Printed in ' The Star' on Hit morrow of M. Zola's condemnation in Paris} PREFACE ALL that I claim for this little book, reprinted ' from the columns of The Evening News,' is the quality of frankness. I do not desire to check or disarm criticism, but I have a right to point out that I have performed my work rapidly and have largely subordinated certain literary considera- tions to a desire to write my story naturally and simply, in much the same way as I should have told it in conversation with a friend. Very rarely, I think, have I departed from this rule. The book supplies an accurate account of Emile Zola's exile in this but some country ; matters I have treated briefly because he himself proposes to give the world probably in diary form some impressions of his sojourn in England with a record of his feelings day by day whilst v WITH ZOLA IN ENGLAND the great campaign in favour of the unfortunate Alfred Dreyfus was in progress.

    [Illustration: Cuore Edmondo De Amicis] [Illustration: "THE BOY HAD WALKED TEN MILES."--Page 123.] CUORE (HEART) AN ITALIAN SCHOOLBOY'S JOURNAL _A Book for Boys_ BY EDMONDO DE AMICIS _TRANSLATED FROM THE THIRTY-NINTH ITALIAN EDITION_ BY ISABEL F. HAPGOOD NEW YORK THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PUBLISHERS COPYRIGHT, 1887, 1895 and 1901. BY THOMAS Y. CROWELL & COMPANY COPYRIGHT, 1915. 第 1 页 共 185 页 BY ISABEL F. HAPGOOD Printed in the United States of America AUTHOR'S PREFACE THIS book is specially dedicated to the boys of the elementary schools between the ages of nine and thirteen years, and might be entitled: "The Story of a Scholastic Year written by a Pupil of the Third Class of an Italian Municipal School." In saying written by a pupil of the third class, I do not mean to say that it was written by him exactly as it is printed. He noted day by day in a copy-book, as well as he knew how, what he had seen, felt, thought in the school and outside the school; his father at the end of the year wrote these pages on those notes, taking care not to alter the thought, and preserving, when it was possible, the words of his son. Four years later the boy, being then in the lyceum, read over the MSS. and added something of his own, drawing on his memories, still fresh, of persons and of things. Now read this book, boys; I hope that you will be pleased with it, and that it may do you good.

  • George Macdonald in Liguria
    George MacDonald in Liguria Giorgio Spina e know that our author and his family went to Northern Italy for Whealth reasons. Biographers such as Joseph Johnson and Greville MacDonald are full of particulars about the dreadful persecution he suffered from the so-called “family attendant” and his continual search for health. In order to retrace the halting places of his lifelong struggle, I mention his stay at Kingswear on the Channel coast in 1856 and, the same year, at Lynton on the opposite coast of the Bristol Channel. We know, moreover, that he wintered in Algiers, and the following year (1857) he rented Providence House, renamed Huntly Cottage, at Hastings. Only a few years later, in 1863, he changed his London dwelling place, moving from Regent’s Park area to Earl’s Terrace, Kensington, because of the clay ground of the former and the healthier dryness of the latter. In 1867 the MacDonald family spent their holidays at Bude in Cornwall, and in 1875 they found a warmer climate at Guildford, Surrey, and then at Boscombe (Bournemouth). It appears that all these removals did not give them a final and satisfactory solution. Probably the ideal climate did not exist in Britain. But at last a new horizon did open. Just at the end of September 1877, Louisa MacDonald, along with Lilia, Irene, and Ronald, arrived in Genoa from Mentone. It was not by chance, but the result of a decision the MacDonald family had taken, surely advised to do so by friends and physicians. Liguria was then well reputed among the English as a particularly [end of page 19] healthy region of Italy.

  • Cristina Mazzoni
    Cristina Mazzoni Capital City: Rome 1870-2010 1. Across Two Centuries In his seminal book Roma contemporanea, historian Vittorio Vidotto reminds us that “Roma è sempre stata una città capitale. Capitale della repubblica e poi dell‟impero romano; capitale della cristianità, quindi del cattolicesimo, infine anche di uno stato ecclesiastico. Nella memoria dei posteri — e in qualche misura fino ad oggi — non ha mai perso interamente questo carattere” (“Rome has always been a capital city. Capital of the Roman Republic and then of the Roman Empire; capital first of Christianity, later of Catholicism, and, finally, also of an ecclesiastical state. In the memory of posterity — and, to a certain extent, up until today — it has never entirely lost this character,” 4). Rome‟s contemporary identity as a modern capital, however, was not easily won; indeed, one could argue that this identity is still fluid — a work in progress, as it were, burdened with multiple pagan, Christian, and secular layers. The process of Rome‟s modernization began with the Breach of Porta Pia on September 20, 1870, when the city was freed from the political authority of the pope: Pius IX locked himself inside the Vatican, declared himself its prisoner, and never came out again. The majority of the population welcomed enthusiastically the Savoy troops: culturally isolated and economically weakened, particularly in the course of the preceding decade, most Romans no longer supported the current pope‟s rule (Bartolini 17). What had been for centuries a sacred city began the process of officially becoming a secular capital — although Rome‟s religious hold on Catholics, it can be argued, continues to influence politics to this day.

    The Reception of The Ladies Paradise in Nineteenth- Century England and the Fight Against Sensual Capitalism by Diana Kolesnik A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Political Economy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020 Diana Kolesnik Acknowledgments From the bottom of my heart I would like to express my deep and sincere gratitude to my research supervisor, Professor Danielle Kinsey for guiding me and motivating me throughout my research. Her optimism, insight and vision helped push me and inspire me when things got tough. Her humor, wit and knowledge kept me engaged and eager to learn more about history and literature. It has been a great privilege and honor to work alongside Professor Kinsey and I am incredibly grateful for everything she has done for me throughout this experience. I truly could not have done this without her support. I would also like to say thank you to my committee, Professor Sarah Brouillette and Professor Justin Paulson. Though our committee was formed only in the very late stages of my thesis, I am sincerely grateful for them accepting to be part of my thesis committee. Without their time and comments, my thesis submission would not have been possible. Thank you, truly. I am also extending my gratitude to Carleton University for accepting me into the Political Economy program and allowing me to be part of such a great institution. This has been a fantastic experience and I have learned so much going forward.

  • Zola As Pornographic Point of Reference in Late Nineteenth-Century Brazil
    Zola as Pornographic Point of Reference in Late Nineteenth-Century Brazil Leonardo Mendes Rio de Janeiro State University RÉSUMÉ: Lorsqu’elle fit son apparition sur la scène littéraire, la fiction naturaliste fut, à tort, régulièrement représentée comme de la pornographie. Nombreux étaient ceux qui pensaient que les auteurs naturalistes écrivaient de la littérature pornographique sous le couvert de prétentions scientifiques. Aussi Zola eut-il à lutter toute sa vie contre sa réputation lascive. Au Portugal, Eça de Queirós en vint à reconnaitre qu’il était inutile de se battre contre la perception généralisée selon laquelle la fiction naturaliste était malpropre et ordurière. L’éditeur anglais de Zola fut jugé et reconnu coupable de traduire et vendre des romans naturalistes français. Au Brésil, les périodiques rapportèrent ces incidents en reproduisant des colonnes de journaux et en répandant des jugements qu’ils s’étaient souvent appropriés. Des éditeurs et des libraires brésiliens s’associèrent pour annoncer les œuvres de fiction naturalistes licencieuses sous l’euphémisme “Lectures légères.” Ces œuvres naturalistes étaient ainsi vendues et lues comme des histoires de sexe et de nudité. Quoique ce ne fût sans doute pas là son intention, Zola, figure centrale du mouvement, devint une référence incontournable pour les libraires et les lecteurs de littérature licencieuse. Nous nous proposons ici d’explorer le renom de Zola au Brésil au XIXe siècle et son statut de référence pornographique dans cette société. Naturalism and pornography It may seem odd that naturalist fiction was deemed pornographic when it first circulated, in Europe and in Brazil, but the evidence that this was so can be found everywhere in primary and secondary sources.
