Description

Little known in this country, The Belly of Paris is one of Émile Zola’s most descriptive, humorous, and exciting fictions. In this novel, the author chooses as his locale the newly built food markets of Paris. Into this extravagance of food, which Zola describes with zest, he places his young hero, the half-starved Florent, who finds himself at odds with a world he now knows is unjust. Gradually he takes up with the local Socialists, who are more at home in bars than on the revolutionary streets.
