EZ002Paris: Bibliotheque-Charpentier 1894 1896 1898 Three volumes. First editions. Presentation copies; all three volumes signed and inscribed by Zola on the half-titles to his friend Campbell Clarke. All three volumes uniformly bound for Clarke in quarter green calf over marbled boards original wrappers bound in with his initials to the spines and bookplates to front pastedowns. Some light rubbing and minor wear to the extremities; internally leaves a bit toned as usual else bright and very clean. Les Trois Villes or The Three Cities follows Emile Zola's fictional protagonist Abbe Pierre Froment on his travels through Lourdes Paris and Rome. The trilogy demonstrates Zola's characteristic Naturalism style -- as a literary movement Naturalism relied on empiricism and the scientific method rejecting romanticism through its requirement that characters are subject to the force of their circumstances. As it does in this trilogy Naturalism often manifests itself in the form of social commentary through fiction in this case focused on the three cities for which each of the books are named. Emile Zola 1840-1902 was a French novelist playwright and journalist noted for his contributions to the literary movement known as Naturalism and made famous by his 1877 novel L'Assommoir which lead to further success as a novelist. Aside from his literary contributions Zola is perhaps best known for his involvement in the so-called Dreyfus Affair and his iconic "J'Accuse.!" headline in the Parisian daily newspaper "L'Aurore" in 1898 accusing the French President of anti-Semitism and wrongful conviction of an innocent man. Campbell Clarke 1845-1902 was a British author and journalist who served as librarian at the British Museum before his tenure as an international correspondent for the Daily Telegraph. Clarke was stationed in a number of countries including Turkey Greece Germany Italy and France. Notably when Zola visited London in 1893 to present his speech "Anonymity in the Press" to the Institute of Journalists Clarke acted as a tour guide for Zola and led him on a personal tour through the National Gallery of England.
