In this famous novel, Zola blends naturalism, psychological drama and elements of novel noir to explore murderous impulses, heredity, social violence and technical progress - symbolised by the character of Jacques Lantier and the locomotive La Lison, in a railway world that is both fascinating and disturbing.
A very fine copy.
