ZOLA (Émile). La Débâcle. Precious copy of the first edition numbered on Hollande paper. Paris, Bibliothèque-Charpentier, coll.-"Les Rougon-Macquart. Histoire naturelle et sociale d'une famille sous le Second Empire", 1892. In-12, yellow paperback, uncut. Sheets of different sizes. 636 pages. Margin of first cover slightly frayed (small tear without missing), cover slightly browned, margins dusty. First edition. One of three hundred and thirty numbered copies on Hollande paper (no. 104). The penultimate part of the Rougon-Macquart series, La Débâcle is set during the 1870 war. "The work, constructed with a certain research in its ideological parts, contains vigorous pages on the war; it is a testimony to the struggles and contradictions that shook the French people in the aftermath of the 1870 war and, from this point of view, it is among the most striking of the entire cycle". (Dictionnaire des OEuvres, II, 217). [Clouzot, p. 279; Vicaire, VII, 1215]. A very fresh copy.
