La Faute de l'Abbe Mouret
Description
La Faute de l'Abbé Mouret (1875) is the fifth novel in Émile Zola's twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart. Viciously anticlerical in tone, it follows on from the horrific events at the end of La Conquête de Plassans, focussing this time on a remote Provençal backwater village. The novel then takes a complete new direction in terms of both tone and style, as Serge suffering from amnesia and total long-term memory loss, with no idea who or where he is beyond his first name is doted upon by Albine, the whimsical, innocent and entirely uneducated girl who has been left to grow up practically alone and wild in the vast, sprawling, overgrown grounds of Le Paradou.
