It is easy to savor certain installments in isolation [...] But to read through the Rougon-Macquart in Oxford's fine new translations - fourteen of the twenty volumes retranslated since 2000, seven in the last four years - is to see the mosaic that only Zola's full scheme makes possible.

Aaron Matz, The New York Review of Books

Im going to celebrate the 21st century with a re-read of His Excellency Eugène Rougon.

Swiftly Tilting Planet

'He loved power for power's sake . . . He was without question the greatest of the Rougons.' His Excellency Eugène Rougon (1876) is the sixth novel in Zola's twenty-volume Rougon-Macquart cycle. A political novel set in the corridors of power and in the upper échelons of French Second Empire society, including the Imperial court, it focuses on the fluctuating fortunes of the authoritarian Eugène Rougon, the 'vice-Emperor'. But it is more than just a chronicle. It plunges the reader into the essential dynamics of the political: the rivalries, the scheming, the jockeying for position, the ups and downs, the play of interests, the lobbying and gossip, the patronage and string-pulling, the bribery and blackmail, and, especially, the manipulation of language for political purposes. The novel's themes-especially its treatment of political discourse-have remarkable contemporary resonance. His Excellency Eugène Rougon is about politics everywhere.

His Excellency Eugène Rougon is the sixth in Zola's famous Rougon-Macquart series of novels. Here, the novel presents a detailed picture of court and political circles during the Second Empire, satirizing the corruption and cronyism at its heart.
Les mer
The first modern translation for more than fifty years and the first critical edition of His Excellency Eugène Rougon, the sixth novel in Zola's Rougon-Macquart series. The novel follows the career of a powerful politician, Eugäne Rougon. A key player in Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte's coup d'etat of 1851, Rougon is the very embodiment of the corrupt and autocratic Second Empire. Only the second new translation since the nineteenth century. Brian Nelson is the established translator of five other Zola novels in Oxford World's Classics. Includes chronology, bibliography, and explanatory notes.
