Chicago: International Association of Newspapers and Authors, 1901 Beige boards with blue stripes and illustration of hearts. Soiling to boards, top of spine has some edgwear. TIGHT, NO FOXING. DUST JACKETis the same design as book cover and is soiled with tears and chips. 342 pages. RARE WITH THE D.J. Zola and Pascal share a belief in fatalism. For Pascal, heredity determines how people will live their lives. His record of his family's characteristics is like Zola's lengthy study of human existence in his novels. In this novel, science--genetic determinism--is opposed on religious grounds (it interferes in God's plan) and on social grounds (Madame Rougon fears for her family name). Both these arguments, of course, are themselves fatalistic. If God plans how everything should be, man cannot change it. If the social order must remain intact, the status-quo again reigns. 1901.
