Le Ventre de Paris

(1873)

This is the third novel of Zola's twenty volume Rougon-Macquart series; Henry Vizetelly's (1820-1894) English translation first published in 1888.




Let me have men about me that are fat:
Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o' nights:
Yond' Cassius has a lean and hungry look;
He thinks too much: such men are dangerous.

--Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, act i, sc. 2.
