Set against the backdrop of the late 19th-century French society, 'The Joy of Life' stands as a timeless literary work that continues to captivate readers with its emotional depth and vivid imagery. Through Pauline's journey, Zola invites readers to reflect on the joys and sorrows of existence, prompting contemplation on the essence of true happiness and fulfillment.

Émile Zola

Emile Zola, born in 1840, was the founder of the Naturalist movement in French literature.

His novel Therese Raquin caused a scandal on publication and was followed by his brilliant Rougon-Macquart cycle (1871-1893), a series of twenty novels focussed on one family.

Zola died in mysterious circumstances in 1902, the victim of an accident or murder.
