The Flood Author: Emile Zola ISBN: 9781843911883

The Flood in a brand new translation, a collection of dark and surreal short stories. 'The Flood' and accompanying stories 'Blood' and 'Three Wars' address ideas of human fragility and the uncontrollable effect the power of nature can have on our lives. 'The Flood' centres around Louis Roubien. Now an old man, the head of a large family, his many years of hard work on the land have transformed him from a peasant farmer into a prosperous and satisfied freeholder, distributing his largesse among his relatives and the local community. But with success has come hubris, and when the rains, hitherto a harbinger of plenty, come, and the banks of the River Garonne swell and burst, Roubien sees everything for which he has striven swept away by the raging waters of the flood.
