  • "In this story, a young girl, Angelique, is abandoned by her mother and adopted by a man and woman who make embroideries for the church. Angelique's blissful childhood and tragic end are recounted in the fashion typical of Zola."@en
  • "Le reve (The Dream) is the sixteenth novel in the Rougon-Macquart series by Emile Zola. The novel was published by Charpentier in October 1888 and translated into English by Eliza E. Chase as The Dream in 1893 (reprinted in 2005). Other recent translations are by Michael Glencross (2005) and Andrew Brown (2005). The novel was dramatized as an opera in four acts composed by Alfred Bruneau, produced June 18, 1891, at the Opera-Comique to a libretto by Louis Gallet. The novel covers the years 1860-1869.-- Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia."@en
  • "Emile Zola's novel Le Rêve (1888) is a love idyll between a poor embroideress and the son of a wealthy aristocratic family set against the background of a sleepy cathedral town in northern France. A far cry from the seething, teeming world evoked in Zola's best-known novels, it may at first seem a strange interlude between La Terre and La Bête Humaine in the 20-volume sequence known as the Rougon-Macquart cycle. However, belying its appearance as a simple fairytale the work reveals many of Zola's characteristic themes, the conflict between heredity and environment, between spirituality and sensuality, between the powerful and the powerless. The dream of Angélique, the central character, is at once reality and illusion, and this interplay provides the driving force of the novel. Above all, it is, as Zola himself described it, a poem of passion, showing the lyrical dimension of his genius. This important new translation by Michael Glencross, the first in English since that of Eliza Chase in 1893, recaptures the vigor of Zola's original. The translator also provides a helpful introduction that situates the novel in the context of Zola's life and work as a whole."@en
  • "Written as a "passport to the Academy," this novel stands alone among the Rougon-Macquart series for its pure, idyllic grace. Angelique, a daughter of Sidonie Rougon (La Curee), had been deserted by her mother, and was adopted by a maker of ecclesiastical embroideries, who with his wife lived and worked under the shadow of an ancient cathedral. In this atmosphere the child grew to womanhood, and as she fashioned the rich embroideries of the sacred vestments she had a vision of love and happiness which was ultimately realized, though the realization proved too much for her frail strength ... The vast cathedral with its solemn ritual dominates the book and colours the lives of its characters."@en
