Translated by Ernest Alfred Vizetelly (1853-1922).

Therese Raquin was originally published in French by Emile Zola in the 19th century. It was also originally released one chapter at a time in a Parisian newspaper and then was later compiled into a novel. The story contains quite a bit of symbolism most of which relates to animals. It is also quite scary but at the same time very gripping and interesting. Most of the symbolism is lost in the English translations and so reading the original French is much better. It is the kind of book you will want to read more than once. ~ Submitted by AnnaLaura Brown
