"Pot-Bouille" by Émile Zola is a novel published in 1882, the tenth in the Rougon-Macquart series. Octave Mouret arrives in Paris and settles into a respectable bourgeois apartment building, seeking a mistress to advance his social position. Behind the facade of propriety, he discovers the building's inhabitants engage in adultery, arranged marriages, inheritance disputes, and child abandonment. Through biting irony, Zola exposes the hypocrisy and moral corruption lurking beneath the veneer of
Parisian respectability. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
