Pot Luck (Pot-Bouille) by Mile Zola

Pot Luck (Pot-Bouille) by Mile Zola

Pot Luck, Zola's most acerbic satire, describes daily life in a newly constructed block of flats in late nineteenth-century Paris. In examining the contradictions that pervade bourgeois life, Zola reveals a multitude of betrayals and depicts a veritable 'melting pot' of moral and sexual degeneracy. This new translation captures the robustness of Zola's language and restores the omissions of earlier abridged versions.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
