Zola (1840-1902) was a great French writer, but he was also a journalist.
Especially when I was starting out as a writer, I could say that being a journalist was my main job, and I wrote many articles for newspapers on a daily basis.
Zola himself states in the book that he wrote a large number of articles as a journalist, and that this was a significant part of his life as a writer. Zola himself states in the book that this was a significant part of his life as a writer: to read the times, and to describe them as quickly and accurately as possible under deadline. This was important training for a writer, Zola said. He even recommends that young writers become journalists to gain experience. That is how much Zola valued his work as a journalist.
According to the commentary at the end of the book, Zola added to and revised articles he had submitted to newspapers and magazines and made them into his own book in the form of republications.
In this book, you can read the papers that Zola wrote about literature.
In particular, a key feature of the book is its clear explanation of what Zola's literary style, "naturalistic literature," is all about. Zola's naturalistic literature was previously introduced in this blog.
In this book, Zola discusses the history of French literature, explains the evolution of the novel, poetry, and theater in an easy-to-understand manner, and then shares Zola's view of the ideal literature.
As a journalist, Zola's writing is extremely easy to read. Zola writes in a way that is easy to understand for the general reader, not just for specialists. What I like about Zola's writing is that he does not use difficult words, but speaks to the reader in a straightforward manner with clear arguments. This is what makes him stand out as a journalist.
This book will also give you an insight into the history of French literature.
Of course, some of them areLes Miserables.Victor Hugo, a giant of French literature who wrote

Hugo's masterpiece "Les Misérables" continues to reign at the summit of world literary history.
This work is still very popular in musicals today, but what would Zola say about it?
I love the remise.
But I also love Zola.
Zola's novels are just so interesting. Zola's serial seriesThe Lugon McCall Series.I also read all the
However, Zola dislikes fanciful and fantastical literature.
Naturalistic literature is based on the motto of faithfully depicting the real human world.
Then, can we say that the remise is a "real world"...this is hard to say.
In fact, Hugo and Zola have diametrically opposed views of literature.
This is a very interesting symmetry.
This is a very difficult question for me, as I love both Hugo and Zola.
It may seem contradictory to say "I like both opposites," but it can't be helped. Hugo and Zola are both interesting in their own way.
So in the next article, we will look at Zola's criticism of Hugo.
In this book, Zola expresses his opinion of Hugo. This is also an extremely edgy critique.
Zola is a theatrical work by HugoLüy Bras."bites against Hugo on the subject.
I would like to share this critique with you because it was a very clear way to understand the literary styles of the two authors. This is a very good review that will make you think about what French literature is all about.
Critique does not mean a lot of small, difficult technical terms. That's Zola for you. They speak in a very easy-to-understand way.
We hope you will continue to stay with us.
