About this audiobook

Aus Dankbarkeit gegenüber seiner Adoptivmutter verspricht Daniel dafür zu sorgen, dass aus deren Tochter Jeanne ein anständiger Mensch wird. Leichter gesagt als getan, denn zu seinem Entsetzen muss Daniel feststellen, dass aus der in klösterliche Erziehungs-Hände gelegten Jeanne eine moralisch verderbte, arrogante und kaltherzige junge Göre geworden ist, der ihre äußerliche Fassade wichtiger ist als Menschlichkeit und Nächstenliebe. Daniel arbeitet fleißig und hart und nimmt schließlich eine unqualifizierte Stelle als Sekretär beim Mann von Jeannes Tante an, um sein Versprechen zu erfüllen. In selbstloser Aufopferung verfolgt Daniel seine Mission – er muss es schaffen Jeannes Weltfremdheit und die damit in Verbindung stehenden Klischees, Vorurteile und Herzlosigkeiten aus ihrem Charakter zu verbannen – aber wie? Eine wunderbar anrührende Erzählung des französischen Altmeisters, aus welcher nur zu deutlich wird, dass moralische und ethische Grundsätze wichtiger als gewissensschmeichlerische Glaubensbekenntnisse sind.

Emile Zola

Émile Zola (1840-1902) was a French novelist, journalist, and playwright. Born in Paris to a French mother and Italian father, Zola was raised in Aix-en-Provence. At 18, Zola moved back to Paris, where he befriended Paul Cézanne and began his writing career. During this early period, Zola worked as a clerk for a publisher while writing literary and art reviews as well as political journalism for local newspapers. Following the success of his novel Thérèse Raquin (1867), Zola began a series of twenty novels known as Les Rougon-Macquart, a sprawling collection following the fates of a single family living under the Second Empire of Napoleon III. Zola’s work earned him a reputation as a leading figure in literary naturalism, a style noted for its rejection of Romanticism in favor of detachment, rationalism, and social commentary. Following the infamous Dreyfus affair of 1894, in which a French-Jewish artillery officer was falsely convicted of spying for the German Embassy, Zola wrote a scathing open letter to French President Félix Faure accusing the government and military of antisemitism and obstruction of justice. Having sacrificed his reputation as a writer and intellectual, Zola helped reverse public opinion on the affair, placing pressure on the government that led to Dreyfus’ full exoneration in 1906. Nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1901 and 1902, Zola is considered one of the most influential and talented writers in French history.
