Dead Men Tell No Tales and Other Stories

In contrast with the epic scope of the Rougon-Macquart novels, Zola-s 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 Zola-s imagination, using a variety of tones, from the quietly cynical to the compassionate, from the playful to the tragic.Contains:Dead Men Tell No TalesCoqueville on the SpreeCaptain BurleShellfish for Monsieur Chabre
