by Emile Zola (Author), Stephen R. Pastore (Introduction by)

Zola's classic story of an old man who, forced to divide his property among his children, is cruelly harassed by them for what little else remains. The theme, as simple yet as complex as the earth itself, hums with the intrigue of subplots carefully dovetailed into the narrative and constantly arrests the reader with fascinating insights into the motivations of the characters.
