Résumé
--
In this book, Clélia Anfray introduces readers to a surprising Zola. She investigates the intimate, conflictual and paradoxical relations between Zola and the Holy book. The 'Rougon-Macquart' (collective title given to his twenty-novel cycle) is revealed to be an eloquent example of the writer's ambiguity: we see the principal 'myths' (original sin, Cain and Abel, the Babylonian City) reinterpreted in an remarkable way. Thereafter, many questions are posed: what must we think of the strange paradox when a writer, generally considered to harbour feminist sympathies, is revealed to be the novelist of 'original sin' and perverse sexuality? How can we understand that sin, in the cycle, is the fruit of woman and virginity her only virtue? What should we think of his belief in a fraternity to come, when all relations between brothers inevitably end in fratricide - literal or symbolic? When Cain and Abel seem to merge into one? Finally, how should we understand the socialist justice advocated in 'Germinal', when each person is rewarded not according to his 'needs' but his 'merits'- a concept that is incompatible with that the naturalist concept of heredity- or even more strangely: according to 'his works'? The ambition of this essay is firstly to reveal these questions, and secondly, to provide answers.
