The Joy of Living - Hasan Ali Yücel Classics

Émile Zola (1840-1902): The writer, one of the most important representatives of the naturalism movement, gained the life experience necessary for his novels during his difficult youth years. In 1864, his first story book, Stories for Ninon, was published. In 1865, The Confessions of Claude, which bears traces of his own life, was published. Zola argued that the novelist should not be content with recording events like a spectator, but should process emotional and social phenomena like a chemist, while putting people and their passions through a series of experiments. He wrote all his novels with the same view, starting with Thérèse Raquin, published in 1867. Meyhane (1877), Nana (1880), Joy of Living (1884), Germinal (1885) and Toprak (1887) are among his most well-known novels. In The Joy of Living, Zola masterfully conveys, in all its simplicity, the story of the self-sacrificing Pauline, who never loses her joy of life and her extraordinary naivety, despite the difficulties she faces and the pain she suffers.
