La Terre by Émile Zola
"La Terre" by Émile Zola is a novel published in 1887. Set in rural France during the Second Empire, it follows Jean Macquart, an itinerant farm worker who arrives in a small village and becomes entangled with a disintegrating peasant family. Through his eyes, Zola depicts the brutal hardships of agricultural life as greed, lust, and violence corrupt family bonds. The story builds toward the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, revealing the
savage reality beneath pastoral images of countryside existence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
