About This Novel

"Selected Novels and Novels by Zola" exposes the political darkness, religious hypocrisy, and bourgeois ugliness during the Second French Empire and the Third Republic, sympathizes with the suffering of the poor and praises the greatness of the laborers, contrasts the loss of honor concepts of the ruling class with the heroism of the ordinary people, depicts the lives of small citizens and the activities of artists, and studies the issues of marriage, death, and lust... The subject matter and content are quite extensive and rich. Realism, romanticism, naturalism, symbolism... The creative techniques and artistic styles are varied and colorful. It is true that Zola's short stories and short stories, even these selected masterpieces, are inferior to his predecessor Balzac and his junior Maupassant in the depth and breadth of reflecting and analyzing real social relations; some of the propositions of naturalism, such as the deliberate pursuit of blandness and moderation like daily life, have done harm to the artistic effect of some of his short stories and short stories. However, when Chinese readers compare this selection of novels with the selections of short stories and short stories by realist masters such as Balzac, Maupassant, Chekov, and O. Henry that they have experienced before, it is still not difficult to discover its unique ideological and artistic richness, and gain good lessons and beautiful enjoyment from it.

Poems about Immortals Jinghua Ranger Cave ①, a retreat in the mountains and forests ②. How can a wealthy family be so proud? Weituo Penglai ④. Linyuan is covered with clear waves, and Linggang is covered with red water. You can dive in Lingxi and climb the ladder⑥ safely. There are proud officials in Qiyuan, and there are wives in Lai. If you advance, you will protect the dragon's view; if you retreat, you will be in trouble with the feudal clan. Walking high in the wind and dust, bowing to Yi Qi.
