Doctor Pascal

Final Volume in Zola's Rougon-Macquart Cycle

This final volume in Zola's twenty-book Rougon-Macquart cycle serves in many respects as an epilogue to the series—but it’s also a fine tale in its own right.

Doctor Pascal, approaching old age, looks back on his life and finds himself asking whether he has made the right choices... and the answers he finds aren’t always what you’d expect.

Those who enjoy Zola’s better-known novels will find much to appreciate here as well. (Goodreads)
