Description
Book SynopsisDoctor Pascal is the twentieth and final novel in Zola's great Rougon-Macquart series. Pascal Rougon has spent his life chronicling the hereditary patterns and illnesses of his family, using medicine to attempt cures, whilst his niece Clotilde places her faith in God.
Trade ReviewThe excellence of this particular edition is consistent with the standard set by the indefatigable Brian Nelson who has been responsible for almost half the translations of the preceding Rougon-Macquart novels. * Robert Lethbridge, Journal of European Studies *
As a translator, Australian Julie Rose is able to encompass the wide range of moods within Zola's writing. [..] Rose's Zola comes alive in a way that feels entirely fresh and very much its own thing. * Peter Boyle, The Australian *
