In "The Downfall" Zola tells the story of a terrific land-slide which overwhelmed the French Second Empire: It is a story of war, grim and terrible; of a struggle to the death between two great nations. In it the author has put much of his finest work, and the result is one of the masterpieces of literature. The hero is Jean Macquart, son of Antoine Macquart and brother of Gervaise. After the terrible death of his wife, as told in "La Terre" ("The Soil"), Jean enlisted for the second time in the army, and went through the campaign up to the battle of Sedan. After the capitulation he was made prisoner, and in escaping was wounded. When he returned to active service he took part in crushing the excesses of the Commune in Paris... The Downfall has been described as "a prose epic of modern war," and vast though the subject be, it is treated in a manner that is powerful, painful, and pathetic.

Excerpt from The Downfall: La Debacle, the Smash-Up Briefly though inadequately put, this is the claim, these are the premises, to himself self-evident, universal, and sufficient, which constitute the framework of our author's theory. And the material. It is antiquated rubbish to suppose that the choice of subject in any way exhibits the quality of the artist's genius; the face of the murderer is as enlightening as that of the saint, the mother who has. Drowned her child is as elemental to society as the Madonna. Why go far afield? We are in the middle of the nineteenth century, in the heart of a people which claims to have freed from bondage both physical and mental the modern lands of Greece and Italy, the well springs of classicism; we are part of that rich social allu vium deposited in Gaul since the davs of Julius Caesar, a soil from which spring the brightest flowers of new-born human intelligence. We take the second Napoleonic em pire as we find it. Let this be our theme, the subject of our epopee. \vhat a harvest for the novelist! What a laboratory for analysis and experiment! Here are men and women, the product of scientific processes still at work; here is a society the most complex and modern yet evolved. Here is an imperial democracy; or is it a democratic empire? Here certainly is a military state. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Downfall (La Debacle) A Story of the Horrors of War It then became necessary to see the places, to study the geography of my book, for at that period I did not know where my scenes were to be laid, whether on the banks of the Rhine, or elsewhere. So, with my rough draft in my pocket, and my head teeming with the shadows of my marionettes, and of the things that they were to do and to explain, I set off for Rheims and went carefully over the whole ground, driving from Rheims to Sedan, and following foot by foot the road by which the Seventh Corps - ahead y then decided upon as the milieu in which my novel was to develop - m arched to their disaster. During that drive I picked up an immense quantity of material, halting in farmhouses and peasants' cottages, and taking copious notes. Then came Sedan, and after a careful study of the place and the people, I saw that my novel must deal largely, for the full comprehension of my story, not only with the locality, but with the people of the town. This gave me the bourgeois of Sedan, who play an im portant part in my tale. Little by little, the geography gave me also the physiology of my book. Each new place that it became necessary to describe supplied its type, its characters. So, on my return to Paris, I was in an immense work shop or yard surrounded with huge mountains of hewn stones.
