Bookseller specialized in antique books and graduate of the School of the Louvre and of Museology, Valentine del Moral is also the author of the bibliophile chronicle La Lorgnette numérique. Through At Zola’s. If Médan were told to me... (Fallois, 2015), she paints a hair-raising and unexpected portrait of the writer through her house. The writer Emile Zola was the man of a literary movement – Naturalism –, of a work – the Rougon-Macquart –, of an affair – the Dreyfus Affair. He was also the man of a house: Médan! Valentine del Moral invites us to Zola’s. Between memories, objects and atmospheres, Médan reveals itself as a mirror of man and his work.
A lively dive into the intimacy of Zola, not to be missed!
