Émile François Zola ( 2 April 1840 – 29 September 1902) is one of the greatest writers of the 19th century, and one of France’s best known citizens. In his life, Zola was the most important exemplar of the literary school of naturalism and a major figure in the political liberalization of France. Around the end of his life, Zola was instrumental in helping secure the exoneration of the falsely accused and convicted army officer Alfred Dreyfus, a victim of anti-Semitism. The Dreyfus Affair was encapsulated in the renowned newspaper headline J'Accuse.

This collection of Zola’s Short Stories is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with pictures of Zola, his life and work.
