The Fortune of the Rougons is the first in Zola's famous Rougon-Macquart series of novels. In it we learn how the two branches of the family came about, and the origins of the hereditary weaknesses passed down the generations. Murder, treachery, and greed are the keynotes, and just as the Empire was established through violence, the "fortune" of the Rougons is paid for in blood.Set in the fictitious Provencal town of Plassans, The Fortune of the Rougons tells the story of Silvere and Miette, two idealistic young supporters of the republican resistance to Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte's coup d'etat of December 1851. They join the woodcutters and peasants of the Var to seize control of Plassans, and are opposed by the Bonapartist loyalists led by Silvere's uncle, Pierre Rougon. Meanwhile, the foundations of the Rougon family and its illegitimate Macquart branch are being laid in the brutal beginnings of the Imperial regime.
Brian Nelson provides an engaging translation as well as a wide-ranging introduction that explains the background to the Rougon-Macquart series as well as the historical setting of the novel and its special qualities. This edition also features a chronology, bibliography, and extensive explanatory notes.

Beware of a sticky detail
I was looking for a way to organize my kitchen soap, sponges, and bottle brushes. This soap dispenser checked off all of my boxes with a nice stainless steel design making it a great addition to my kitchen counter. Question: after all of these positive aspects why only two stars? Answer: there is a sticker placed onto the dispenser that is so sticky that it is a formidable foe to remove (please review the attached photo). I liked this soap dispenser but the semi permanent sticker is the deal breaker to an otherwise nice product.

Keeps the Sink Area Neat and Organized
This has been really helpful for keeping my sink area clean. The soap dispenser pumps great! The sponge and brush holders keep everything off the counter so that really helps.
The stainless steel looks nice and hasn’t shown any rust so far. It’s compact but holds everything I use daily, and cleaning it is easy. Great little upgrade if your sink area always feels messy.
edited to add: took me about 45 minutes to finally get the sticker label off it was stuck directly on the stainless steel so I had to be really careful peelng it off
