La Conquête de Plassans by Émile Zola
"La Conquête de Plassans" by Émile Zola is a novel published in 1874. When a mysterious priest arrives in the provincial town of Plassans, he slowly infiltrates the household of François Mouret and his wife Marthe. What begins as simple lodging becomes a calculated takeover of family, home, and eventually the entire town's political landscape. As the priest's influence grows and Marthe falls under his spell, François finds himself increasingly marginalized in
his own house, leading toward a devastating descent into madness and destruction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
