Contes à Ninon

by Émile Zola from 1864

About

Zola's early story collection (1864) — written before naturalism defined his work — shows a young romantic in the symbolist mode: fairy tales, love stories, and lyrical nature pieces with a warmth and fantasy that his later novels rarely display. As reading material, the early Zola is a surprise: tender, imaginative, and formally varied. The collection offers an interesting entry point into Zola's work outside the Rougon-Macquart cycle.
