The Rougon-Macquart Dynasty - Émile Zola Live Discussion

[@josuelopez1500]

What a great video! I wish I had seen it live. Definitely subscribing! I read the three "crown jewels": Naná, Germinal and L'assomoir. But now I have started from scratch with the Fortune of Rougons! I'm very excited. 🎉

Thanks so much! We really enjoyed reading the series in order of publication. Zola was a brilliant story teller. Happy reading!

Loved this! ❤Definitely going to start Abbe Mouret and probably revisit 16th century Carmelite nun St. Teresa de Ávila (not "de la Cruz") and her corresondence with her mentee, contemporary mystic monk Juan de la Cruz, to remind myself of what their description of mystical ecstasy and union with God reminds me of. 🤷🏾‍♀

I just ordered the 1st of the series but I'm going to trust your comments and ratings so that just leaves 14 more...ha..I love to hear that they have different slices of life in different books..Thanks Again!

So funny. Part of my reading slump (with some PR books) is due to the uncle/niece engagement of one of our "founding fathers". For which he received papal permission! It still creeps me out after years of finding out. She died of typhoid fever two weeks before the wedding and I can't feel bad about it. I'm not that sophisticated.
