dark slow-paced

Très bon livre que j'ai lu lorsque j'avais 16ans, je me rappelle avoir sauté quelques passages (pardon haha) car c'est tout est vraiment détaillé
Je l'avais lu en 2 semaines et c'etais une très belle période de ma vie, je devrais lire les autres livres de Zola!

Je l'ai lu parce que je voulais découvrir des classiques et j'ai bien aimé, c'est pas non plus la meilleure lecture de l'année mais pour moi qui n'aime pas trop les classiques anciens je suis contente. L'histoire est très violente et graphique, au début j'avais peur que ce soit trop [violent et graphique] et juste pour choquer mais au final ça allait. Plusieurs personnes m'ont conseillé Thérèse Raquin donc j'essayerai de le lire quand j'aurai le temps.

Je l'ai lu en 2nd, je l'aurais pas autant apprécié si j'avais pas eu un prof de français INCROYABLE (bigdaddy). Mais du coup j'ai  adoré c'était super cool, analyse de BAISÉ 

Jacques Lantier, a train driver, attends the crime of the railway company president, Grandmorin.
The crime will commit by Roubaud, a Deputy Chief of the station and Séverine, his wife. It's a crime of revenge to punish this character for abusing Severine since childhood.
Jacques decided to shut up. Instead, he and Séverine fall in love.
But Jacques is inhabited by deadly impulses due to heavy alcoholic heredity.
This one is passionate about his craft and described his "La Lison" locomotive as a person.
The title "The human beast" focus on the book. One wonders if he addressed it to Jacques or the locomotive.
That's a beautiful novel by Zola, which includes the family Lantier. James is the son of Gervaise met in "L'Assomoir".
The author cleverly connects novels in the Rougon-Macquart series.
"The human beast" is an excellent thriller without any length. I thought I read it in a quick read, but I still left the lead in the story.
He goes a bit against my certainty because I am entirely against determinism - the point of view that has served me well.
Zola had much to document in this series as he approached many areas with many details.
dark sad medium-paced
