Mei Tang Night

About This Novel
In the late 1870s, a group of writers who supported naturalism gathered around Zola and formed the so-called "Meitang Group". These writers are Alexi, Huysmans, Maupassant, Céard and Enique. They are both young literary men with similar temperaments and congenial interests. They share both patriotism and similar philosophical tendencies. One day, this group of people came to the house that Zola had just bought in Medang. During the evening chat, they talked about literary creation. Zola suggested that each of them write a novel about the Franco-Prussian War, and thus "A Night in Medang" was born. It includes six novellas: Zola's "The Battle of the Moulins", Maupassant's "Ball de Suif", Huysmans' "The Knapsack", Céard's "Bloodletting", Enike's "The Battle of the Seven" and Alexi's "After the Battle".
