The Rush For the Spoil
La Curée
A Realistic Novel
With A Preface by George Moore
Translated by English author and journalist Ernest Alfred Vizetelly (1853–1922)
Translated Without Abridgment From The 34th French Edition.
(1886)
From the Preface:
The public and the press have agreed that "L'Assommoir" is M. Zola's chef d'œuvre. Against this verdict I have no objection to offer. I believe it will meet with posterity's endorsement. But although "L'Assommoir" may lift its head the highest, there are many other volumes in the Rougon-Macquart series which stand on, and speak from equally lofty platforms of art. In my opinion, these are "La Faute de l'Abbé Mouret," "La Conquête de Plassans," and "La Curée."
