Complete and unabridged, with 98 full-page plates by Édouard Manet, Vincent van Gogh and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The pit, the company, the hunger, and the violence when it comes. Zola went down a mine at Anzin and talked to the men; the crowd scenes are the best in nineteenth-century fiction, and miners followed his coffin through Paris calling out the title. This edition carries Havelock Ellis's translation and a gallery of 98 plates bound with the text, among them paintings by Munch, Rousseau, Degas and Millet.
