Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Love Episode "I will make all Paris weep," said M. Zola to a friend when he had schemed out the plot of Une Page d´Amour, here freely rendered into English under the title of A Love Episode; and certainly, though one explore the entire domain of fiction, it is difficult to find a more pathetic story than that of Hélène Grandchamp´s struggle with passion, her fall, and bitter punishment. Hélène, as Mr. Andrew Lang has rightly pointed out, is a good and pure woman upon whom the fate of her family falls, with the result that she loves a kind of Dr. Brand Firmin, like the father of Philip in Thackeray´s story. Critics have frequently contended that M. Zola´s realism is confined to outward and visible things; but A Love Episode embraces psychology of no mean order, and repeatedly shows us that its author can, when he chooses, probe the human soul to its utmost depths. And whatever charges may be levelled against some of M. Zola´s works, nobody can say that this tale tends to corrupt and debase; for it teaches the wholesome lesson that dereliction of duty, whatever its attendant "extenuating circumstances," brings with it its own harrowing punishment. This is pointed out in the masterly survey of his life-work which forms the particular feature of M. Zola´s novel "Doctor Pascal."
