Title: A really poor old translation
Review: If you can stand these public domain rip-offs, you'll love this book. It was one of Zola's weakest book by far, but putting a fancy cover on it and using a victorian british translation doesn't help matters. See the new versions put out by The Emile Zola Society if you want to appreciate Zola for the great writer he is and you cannot read French.
