Synopsis
La Terre (The Earth) is a novel by Émile Zola, published in 1887. It is the fifteenth novel in Zola's Rougon-Macquart series. The action takes place in a rural community in La Beauce, an area of northern France. The novel is connected to the other novels in the series by the main protagonist, Jean Macquart, whose childhood in the south of France was recounted in La Fortune des Rougon, and who will go on to feature prominently in the later novel La Débâcle.
