The disappearance of âEmile Zola : love, literature and the Dreyfus case

See all formats and editions

It is the evening of 18 July 1898 and the world-renowned novelist Émile Zola is on the run.

His crime? Taking on the highest powers in the land with his open letter 'J'accuse' and losing.

Forced to leave Paris, with nothing but the clothes he is standing in and a nightshirt wrapped in newspaper, Zola flees to England with no idea when he will return. This is the little-known story of his time in exile.

Rosen has traced Zola's footsteps from the Gare du Nord to London, examining the significance of this year.

The Disappearance of Zola offers an intriguing insight into the mind, the loves, the politics and the work of the great writer.
