The Fat and the Thin
Emile Zola
We can recommend Mr. Vizetelly's translation of "Le Ventre de Paris" as a very satisfactory rendering of a remarkable book. Mr. Vizetelly, while suppressing the grossness which makes the original obnoxious to English readers, has preserved the passion, the humour, and the terrible insight of the original. Zola has never drawn a picture more pitilessly faithful to the lower side of our common humanity than this is... A drama which reads like a page torn out of the book of life itself.' - SPEAKER. 'Intensely realistic... Some of the characters are drawn with a master hand, and the two rival beauties will bear comparison with any of the portraits in the author's literary gallery.' - GLASGOW HERALD. 'M. Zola seems equally at home with all phases of life in Paris, and nothing could be more striking and realistic than his story of existence in and around those gigantic Central Markets of the gay city... "The Fat and the Thin" must be regarded as a life-like and vigorous work.' -PUBLIC OPINION. 'The book contains some of the most poetical and idyllic scenes M. Zola has ever written. The adventures of Cadine are very beauti- fully told.' -NORFOLK STANDARD. 'One of the most striking of Zola's novels... The story puts into a book the life of the great markets of Paris, familiar to tourists as one of the sights of the town... If not the best of its author's novels, it is at least a ?ne and characteristic work, and the appearance of so excellent a version will be welcome to a great number of English readers.'- SCOTSMAN.
