La Bete humaine (1890), is one of Zola's most violent and explicit works. On one level a tale of murder, passion and possession, it is also a compassionate study of individuals derailed by atavistic forces beyond their control. Zola considered this his `most finely worked' novel, and in it he powerfully evokes life at the end of the Second Empire in France, where society seemed to be hurtling into the future like the new locomotives and railways it was building. While expressing the hope that human nature evolves through education and gradually frees itself of the burden of inherited evil, he is constantly reminding us that under the veneer of technological progress there remains, always, the beast within. This new translation captures Zola's fast-paced yet deliberately dispassionate style, while the introduction and detailed notes place the novel in its social, historical, and literary context. 101404 book 1890 La Bete Humaine total:308|5:116|4:124|3:53|2:11|1:4| 308 1261 544 20 28417 2070418014 9782070418015 249 16 4.09 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167946518m/28417.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28417.La_B_te_Humaine 2 1 false Wed Feb 20 18:51:40 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 20 18:51:40 -0800 2008 more...]]> 6949869 1 1 4.09 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1254863817m/6949869.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6949869-the-beast-in-man 5 1 false Sat Oct 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 14:39:06 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 08:46:24 -0700 2009 more...]]> 28417 2070418014 9782070418015 249 16 4.09 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167946518m/28417.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28417.La_B_te_Humaine 5 0 false Wed Nov 19 23:58:43 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 01 20:18:08 -0800 2008 more...]]> 865006 2253005576 9782253005575 3 1 4.09 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179006609m/865006.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/865006.La_B_te_Humaine 5 1 false Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Fri Oct 26 08:29:11 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 26 08:32:50 -0700 2007
