Zola's "The Birth of the House of Lugon" Synopsis and Impressions - Shockingly interesting! A masterpiece that brings to life the beginning of Napoleon's Second Empire! It all started here!

The Birth of the House of Lugon was published in 1871 as the first volume of Emile Zola's monumental Lugon-Macquart series, which took 24 years to complete.

This book is a masterpiece among Zola's works that I especially recommend!

I can't tell you how many times I groaned in my heart when I read it and said, "Ahhh, that's just what Dr. Zola did!" I can't tell you how many times I groaned in my heart! The choice of words, the rhythm of the sentences, and the exquisitely positioned expressions that appeal to the five senses are all in full bloom in this work. To be honest, I prefer this work to "Izakaya" and "Nana". It was very interesting.
