Summary "Zijn Excellentie Eugène Rougon" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work is part of the "Les Rougons-Macquart" series, which chronicles the lives of the Rougon and Macquart families in the backdrop of Second Empire France. The novel focuses on Eugène Rougon, a prominent political figure navigating the complexities of power, ambition, and the political intrigue surrounding his position. The opening of the novel introduces us to a chaotic scene in the parliamentary chamber where the president is about to initiate discussions. Various politicians, including Eugène Rougon, are summoned into the session, expressing their mixed feelings about the state of affairs. Conversations among characters reveal the tension about Rougon's future with hints of political danger and possible dismissal looming over him. Amidst the mundane discussions and political maneuvering, there are undercurrents of personal relationships and ambitions, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of power dynamics and personal stakes.
