Description
La Terre est un roman d’Émile Zola publié en 1887, le quinzième volume de la série des Rougon-Macquart.
Sans doute l’un des plus violents, Zola y dresse en effet un portrait féroce du monde paysan de la fin du xixe siècle, âpre au gain, dévoré d’une passion pour la terre qui peut aller jusqu’au crime. Tout l’ouvrage est empreint d’une bestialité propre à choquer les lecteurs de l’époque, les accouplements d’animaux

"Emile Zola's novel Le Réve (1888) is a love idyll concerning a poor embroideress, Angelique, and the son of a wealthy aristocratic family, set against the backdrop of a sleepy cathedral town in northern France." "A far cry from the seething, teeming world evoked in Zola's best-known novels, it may at first seem a strange interlude between La Terre and La Bete Humaine in the twenty-volume sequence known as the Rougon-Macquart Novels.".
