About This Novel
"Money" is the nineteenth novel in the French writer Zola's masterpiece "The Rougon-Macquart Family". Published in 1892, it occupies an important position in Zola's entire creation due to the significance of its subject matter and the success of its artistic depiction. It uses vivid and rich images to express a series of major social phenomena in the early days of modern capitalism: new problems in the financial market, the role of capital, social speculative psychology, and the human tragedies and comedies that occurred around these. "Money" expresses the role of money in social life from a sociological perspective, highlighting a special form of activity and role of money capital in social life under capitalism. That is, once money capital is formed, it will inevitably turn into financial speculation, and the exchanges that carry out such speculative activities have become the focus of "Money".
