  Station Information - La Fortune des Rougon
La Fortune des Rougon is a novel by Emile Zola.
Pierre Rougon, her legitimate son, was a man of strong will inherited from his father, and he early saw that his mother's property was being squandered by the Macquarts.
Pierre Rougon was not particularly prosperous, but his eldest son, Eugene, went to Paris and became mixed up in the Bonapartist plots which led to the ''Coup d'Etat'' of 1851.

 La Fortune des Rougon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
La Fortune des Rougon, originally published in 1871, is the first novel in Emile Zola's monumental twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart.
We see Pierre Rougon (the legitimate son) in his attempts to disinherit his Macquart half-siblings, his marriage to Felicité Puech, the voraciously ambitious daughter of a local merchant, and their continued failure to establish the fortune, fame and renown they seek, despite their greed and relatively comfortable lifestyles.
The title refers not only to the "fortune" chased by Pierre and Felicité Rougon, but also to the fortunes of the various disparate family members Zola introduces us to - their future lives, for which this novel is the starting point.

 Zola's Fiction FR3219b
'La semaine sanglante' (triggered by the entry into Paris of the Versailles troops on 21 May 1871) marked the end of such resistance and Thiers's new regime, the Third Republic, was born, bathed in the blood of fellow Frenchmen.
It was under this new political structure that the book-length edition of La Fortune des Rougon appeared in October 1871, and that all of Zola's subsequent novels would appear.
Around the maître de Médan (4) developed a network of contacts between writers who shared Zola's mixture of fascination and horror before the excesses of modernity and who were keen to transcribe such excesses in legible and authentic ways.

Approaching old age, the Rougon couple finally admit defeat and settle, crushed, into their lower middle class destinies, until by a remarkable stroke of luck their eldest son Eugène reports from Paris that he has some news that they might find interesting.
Eventually, the Rougons exploit their half-brother Antoine Macquart into inadvertently helping crush the republican threat, and they achieve their life's ambition, fortune and favour.
The title refers not only to the "fortune" chased by Pierre and Felicité Rougon, but also to the fortunes of the various disparate family members Zola introduces us to — their future lives, for which this novel is the starting point.

 MSN Encarta - Emile Zola
Inspired in part by La comédie humaine (1842-1848; The Human Comedy, 1895-1900), a vast cycle of novels by French writer Honoré de Balzac, Zola then conceived of a series of 20 novels, Les Rougon-Macquart, which would relate the history of a single family during the reign of French Emperor Napoleon III (1852-1870).
Zola accomplished his great task, beginning in 1871 with La fortune des Rougon (The Fortune of the Rougons, 1886) and ending in 1893 with Le docteur Pascal (Doctor Pascal, 1957).
After publishing the seventh of these novels he read Introduction à l’étude de la médecine expérimentale (1865; An Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine, 1927) by French physiologist Claude Bernard and tried to adapt this scientific method of observation and experimentation in the remainder of his work.

Set in France's Second Empire, it traces the hereditary influence of violence, alcoholism, and prostitution in two branches of a family, the respectable Rougons and the disreputable Macquarts, for five generations.

 Schulers Books (A Zola Dictionary - 8/54)
Jean Macquart, son of Antoine Macquart and brother of Gervaise (/La Fortune des Rougon/), having served his time in the Army, came to the plain of La Beauce, and became an agricultural labourer on the farm of La Borderie, which belonged to Alexandre Hourdequin.
/La Debacle/ has been described as "a prose epic of modern war," and vast though the subject be, it is treated in a manner that is powerful, painful, and pathetic.
Thus /La Debacle/, in the form of a very precise and accurate relation of a series of historical facts--in other words, in the form of a realistic historical novel--is a document on the psychology of France in 1870.

 Emile Zola biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The first novel of the series, La fortune des Rougon, was not published until 1871, after the fall of the Empire.
The whole series consisted of 20 volumes, the last two of which, La débâcle, dealing with the unreadiness of France for the Franco-German War, and Le Docteur Pascal, were published in 1892 and 1893.
It is very uneven; it must be admitted that some of the volumes, Pot-Bouille (1882), e.g., which claims to be a picture of the life of the middle class, present hardly anything that is not nauseating and at the same time tedious.

La Conquête de Plassans (1874) is the fourth novel in Émile Zola's twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart.
In many ways a sequel to the first novel in the cycle, La Fortune des Rougon (1871), this novel is again centred on the fictional Provençal town of Plassans and its plot revolves around a sinister cleric's attempt at political intrigue with disastrous consequences for some of the townsfolk.
At the start of the novel, the home life of Francois Mouret and his wife and cousin Marthe (née Rougon) is portrayed as a generally pleasant and relaxed existence.

'La Curee' (1871-2) is the second novel in Emile Zola's twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart.
There seems to be almost no continuity between this scene and the end of the previous novel, until the second chapter begins and Zola reveals that this opulent scene takes place almost fourteen years after the end of the first book.
The flashback complete, the rest of the novel takes place after Saccard has made his enormous fortune, against the backdrop of his luxurious mansion and his astounding profligacy, and is concerned with a three-cornered plot of sexual and political intrigue.
