The Conquest of Plassans - Émile Zola - e-kniha - diskuze

eBook: \'The Conquest of Plassans\' is the fourth novel in the \'Les Rougon-Macquart\' cycle, returning the reader to the fictional Provencal town of Plassans. It follows the Mouret family as their lives are forever upended by the arrival of an unscrupulous and sinister cleric. The devious cleric manipulates the townsfolk and the Mouret family in particular, for his own political intrigue and to build clerical power in the provinces. The struggle for power between the clergy and government becomes secondary to the human drama unfolding before us as the unassuming town of Plassans is torn apart in a complex web of greed, evil and faith. It is an astonishing drama built on the strength of it\'s characters and the pace of it\'s plot, perfect for anyone who loved \'Les Miserables\'.
