Thérčse Raquin - Emile Zola
This is a brand new translation by Adam Thorpe. Escape comes in the form of her husband's friend, Laurent, and Therese throws herself headlong into an affair. Mysterious disappearances, domestic cases, noiseless, bloodless snuffings-out ...the law can look as deep as it likes, but when the crime itself goes unsuspected ...oh yes, there's many a murderer basking in the sun...When Therese Raquin is forced to marry the sickly Camille, she sees a bare life stretching out before her, leading every evening to the same cold bed and every morning to the same empty day.
They plot to be rid of him. There seems only one obstacle to their happiness; Camille. But in destroying Camille they kill the very desire that connects them...First published in 1867, Therese Raquin has lost none of its power to enthral.
Adam Thorpe's unflinching translation brings Zola's dark and shocking masterwork to life.
