About the author

Ernest Alfred Vizetelly was an English journalist, war correspondent, and translator, best known for his association with Émile Zola. He witnessed the Siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War and later chronicled it in My Days of Adventure. He edited and translated many of Zola’s novels, often reworking earlier, censored editions. After his father’s prosecution for obscenity, Ernest revised the translations to be more acceptable to Victorian sensibilities. He supported Zola during the Dreyfus Affair, assisting him during his exile in England.
