Dead Men Tell No Tales and Other Stories

In contrast with the epic scope of the Rougon-Macquart novels, Zolas short stories are concerned with the everyday aspects of human existence and the interests of ordinary people. From the cruel irony of Captain Burle to the Rabelaisian exuberance of Coqueville on the Spree, these stories display the broad range of Zolas imagination, using a variety of tones, from the quietly cynical to the compassionate, from the playful to the tragic.
