In this short story written by Zola in 1877, Nais Micoulin, a poor but pretty girl whose parents lease a Mediterranean property, becomes the lover of her landlord’s son, Frederic. She hates her severe father who intends to kill Frederic. Nais makes Micoulin perish in an accident she provokes, but happiness does not come, and the parricide is triply punished: not only she loses her lover and her beauty, but also she has to marry an ugly and disabled man. Much shorter than Zola’s novels but extremely rich in significance, the text proves the writer’s mastery o f regarding and describing the naturę and mankind.
