'It was the time when the rush for spoils filled a corner of the
forest with the yelping of hounds, the cracking of whips, the
flaring of torches. The appetites let loose were satisfied at last,
shamelessly, amid the sound of crumbling neighbourhoods and
fortunes made in six months. The city had become an orgy of gold
and women.' The Kill (La Curee) is the second volume in Zola's
great cycle of twenty novels, Les Rougon-Macquart, and the first to
establish Paris - the capital of modernity - as the centre of
Zola's narrative world., Conceived as a representation of the
uncontrollable 'appetites' unleashed by the Second Empire (1852-70)
and the transformation of the city by Baron Haussmann, the novel
combines into a single, powerful vision the twin themes of lust for
money and lust for pleasure. The all-pervading promiscuity of the
new Paris is reflected in the dissolute and frenetic lives of an
unscrupulous property speculator, Saccard, his neurotic wife Renee,
and her dandified lover, Saccard's son Maxime. ABOUT THE SERIES:
For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the
widest range of literature from around the globe., Each affordable
volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the
most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features,
including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful
