Summary "Totuus" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work explores the intertwining lives of characters in the backdrop of a small town, particularly focusing on the family of Markus Froment, a teacher, and his wife Geneviève. As they return to Maillebois for a holiday with relatives, the narrative hints at deeper societal issues heightened by a shocking crime that shapes the events ahead. At the start of the novel, Markus, along with his wife and daughter, arrives at Maillebois, where they are met with both familial warmth and lingering tensions. As a storm rages outside, their domestic life takes center stage, revealing the complexity of relationships among the elderly women of the family and the young couple. However, the atmosphere changes dramatically when they hear the devastating news of a young boy, Zéphirin, being found murdered in his home. This incident introduces a sense of dread and urgency that infiltrates the community, suggesting that the events will unravel hidden truths and challenge the characters’ moralities in the ensuing narrative.
