by Emile Zola (Author), W. M. Sloane (Introduction by)
The Downfall is a novel by Emile Zola, originally published in French in 1892 as La D�����b�����cle. Set during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the book tells the story of a group of soldiers and civilians caught up in the chaos and destruction of the conflict. The central character is Jean Macquart, a peasant from the south of France who has been conscripted into the army. Through his experiences, the novel explores themes of patriotism, nationalism, and the futility of war. Zola's vivid descriptions of battle scenes and the devastation wrought by the conflict make for a powerful and gripping read. The Downfall is widely regarded as one of Zola's greatest works and a classic of French literature.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1902 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
