Here is a true publishing event - the first modern translation of a lost masterpiece by one of fiction's giants. Censored upon publication in 1871, out of print since the 1950s, and untranslated for a century, Emile Zola's The Kill (La Curee) emerges as a classic of naturalism. Second in the author's twenty-volume Rougon-Macquart saga, it is a story of family transgression, heedless desire, and societal greed.
The incestuous affair of Renee Saccard and her stepson, Maxime, is set against the frenzied speculation of Renee's financier husband, Aristide, in a Paris swiftly becoming a modern metropolis and "the capital of the nineteenth century." In the end, setting and story merge in actions that leave a woman's spirit and a city's soul ravaged beyond repair. As rendered by Arthur Goldhammer, The Kill contains all the qualities of the school of fiction marked, as Henry James wrote, by "infernal intelligence."

Émile Zola was born in 1840 and worked as a journalist before turning to fiction. He wrote his first major novel, Thérèse Raquin, in 1867, and the publication of L’Assommoir ten years later made him the most famous writer in France. His work has influenced authors from August Strindberg to Theodore Dreiser to Tom Wolfe. He died in 1902.
