Émile Zola

L'Assommoir

Extract: Et elle pleura. Le souvenir de sa course au mont-de-piété, en précisant un fait de la matinée, lui avait arraché les sanglots qui s'étranglaient dans sa gorge.

 

Odéon Livre brings French-language literature to an American audience. While many of our featured works have been translated into English, we focus exclusively on texts’ native versions. Plots and characters can indeed be translated, but even the most faithful interpretation will lack the power and beauty of French.
