"Abbé Mouret's Transgression" (La Faute de l'Abbé Mouret), written in 1874, is perhaps the most powerful and poetic of all Zola's tales; it is that in which fantasy bears the greatest part, and in which "naturalisme" for a while disappears. The opening chapters describe a profligate and almost pagan village in Provence, and here "naturalisme" is at home, and in its proper place. The fifth novel in Zola's "Rougon-Macquart" series, "Abbé Mouret's...

Extrait: "Dans mes études littéraires, j'ai souvent parlé de la méthode expérimentale appliquée au roman et au drame. Le retour à la nature, l'évolution naturaliste qui emporte le siècle, pousse peu à peu toutes les manifestations de l'intelligence humaine dans une même voie scientifique. Seulement, l'idée d'une littérature déterminée par la science, a pu surprendre, faute d'être précisée et comprise."
