N2  - Emile �Zola's novel of peasant life is generally regarded as one of his finest achievements. Set in a village in northern France, it depicts the harshness of the peasants' world and their visceral attachment to the land. Jean Macquart, a veteran of the battle of Solferino and now an itinerant farm labourer, is drawn into the affairs of the Fouan family when he starts courting young Fran�coise, and becomes involved in a bitter dispute over the property of Papa Fouan when the old man divides his land between his three children. Resentment soon turns to greed and violence in a Darwinian battle for supremacy
