"With Zola in England: A Story of Exile" by Ernest Alfred Vizetelly is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the famed French novelist Émile Zola during his exile in England following the infamous Dreyfus Affair. The book combines elements of biography and memoir, offering insights into Zola's experiences and the circumstantial drama surrounding his departure from France. At the start of the book, Zola's sudden
flight from France is depicted with a sense of urgency as he faces legal threats for his outspoken criticism of the military's handling of the Dreyfus case. The opening portion reveals the context of Zola's exile, touching on the confusion and media frenzy regarding his whereabouts as he navigates through dangerous territory. As he takes refuge in London, the narrative outlines his initial challenges, including attempts to maintain secrecy while adjusting to the stark contrast of the English lifestyle and landscape compared to his native France.
