Flood

Flood

by Emile Zola

In "Flood," Émile Zola presents a harrowing tale of a prosperous French farming family whose lives are irrevocably shattered by a catastrophic flood. The narrative unfolds through the perspective of the family's 70-year-old patriarch, who bears witness to the relentless destruction wrought by the raging waters. Zola's vivid prose captures the raw emotions of the family as they grapple with loss, despair, and the fragility of human existence in the face of nature's unyielding power.
