Paris by Emile Zola Fiction Literary Classics

<p><strong>One of Zola's own favorites <em>Paris</em> is a truly brilliant tale -- it shows us the city's underbelly both figuratively and literally for we see the enormous market (built in the 1850s) into which flowed great rivers of of food -- and from which flowed sewers of blood and putrefaction. </strong>This is a brilliant tale and one as alive and memorable today as it was when Zola wrote it.</p>
