Description

Money centres on the figure of Aristide Rougon, known as Saccard, and his unscrupulous money-making schemes. His story intertwines the worlds of politics, finance, and the press, and resonates disturbingly with our own times. This is the first new translation for more than a hundred years, and the first unabridged translation in English.

  • The first new translation of this powerful novel since 1894, and the first unabridged translation in English.
  • The eighteenth novel in Zola's Rougon-Macquart series, Money has many contemporary resonances, with a financier for its central character and a plot that involves a banking crisis, illegal practices, manipulation of the press, politics, sex, and power.
  • Lively new translation by Valerie Minogue, President of the Émile Zola Society in London.
  • Includes a full contextualizing introduction and helpful historical notes.
