Did possessing and killing amount to the same thing deep within the dark recesses of the human beast?
La Bête humaine (1890), the seventeenth novel in the Rougon-Macquart series, is one of Zola's most violent and explicit works. On one level a tale of murder, passion, and possession, it is also a compassionate study of individuals derailed by atavistic forces beyond their control. Zola powerfully evokes life at the end of the Second Empire in France, where society seemed to be hurtling into the future like the new locomotives and railways it was building. He constantly reminds us that under the veneer of technological progress there remains, always, the beast within.
This new translation perfectly captures Zola's fast-paced yet deliberately dispassionate style.
THIS EDITION INCLUDES
Introduction • Textual note • Bibliography
Chronology • Explanatory notes
Translated with an Introduction and Notes by Roger Pearson
