Excerpt from A Love Episode Tam can be no doubt in the mind of the judicial critic that in the pages of A Love Episode the reader finds more of the poetical, more of the delicately artistic, more of the subtle emanation of creative and analytical genius, than in any other of Zola's works, with perhaps one ex ception. The masterly series of which this book is a part furnishes a well-stocked gallery of pictures by which pos terity will receive vivid and adequate impressions of life in France during a certain period. There was a strain of Greek blood in Zola's veins. It would almost seem that down through the ages with this blood there had come to him a touch of that old Greek fatalism, or belief in destiny or necessity. The Greek tragedies are pervaded and per meated, steeped and dyed with this idea of relentless fate. It is called heredity, in these modern days. Heredity plus environment -in these we find the keynote of the great productions of the leader of the naturalistic school of fiction.
