Son Excellence Eugène Rougon by Émile Zola

"Son Excellence Eugène Rougon" by Émile Zola is a novel serialized in 1876. Set in the corridors of Second Empire power, it follows the ruthless political machinations of Eugène Rougon and his circle of cronies as they scramble for influence and personal gain. At the center of this web stands Clorinde Balbi, a cunning woman who becomes both Rougon's greatest ally and most dangerous adversary. As careers rise and fall with each imperial whim, loyalty proves fleeting and ambition knows no bounds in this portrait of Second Empire France. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
