Émile Zola was a prominent French author of the 19th century.

This was noted at the time by art critic and author Émile Zola, who offered his opinion:

The writer Emile Zola published an impassioned editorial on the injustice, and was himself condemned by the government for libel.

The character was closely modeled after Offenbach's female star Hortense Schneider, and Offenbach's librettist Ludovic Halévy gave Émile Zola the details.

Critic Richard Lehan says that " Balzac was the bridge between the comic realism of Dickens and the naturalism of Zola.

In 2000, The Life of Emile Zola was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being " culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant ".

Émile François Zola (; 2 April 1840 – 29 September 1902 ) was a French writer, the most important exemplar of the literary school of naturalism and an important contributor to the development of theatrical naturalism.

Zola was born in Paris in 1840.

His father, François Zola ( originally Francesco Zolla ), was an Italian engineer.

From 1877 with the publication of l ' Assommoir, Émile Zola became wealthy ; he was better paid than Victor Hugo, for example.

Émile Zola risked his career and more on 13 January 1898, when his " J ' accuse ", was published on the front page of the Paris daily L ' Aurore.

As Zola was a leading French thinker, his letter formed a major turning-point in the affair.

Zola was brought to trial for criminal libel on 7 February 1898 and was convicted on 23 February and removed from the Legion of Honor.

Captain Dreyfus initially had promised not to attend the funeral but was given permission by Mme Zola and attended.

Like Balzac, Zola ’ s imagination was roused by Paris and all that the capital represented to him.

Essential to Zola ’ s concept of the experimental novel was dispassionate observation of the world, with all that it involved by way of meticulous documentation.

It was important to Zola that no character should appear larger than life ; but the criticism that Zola ’ s characters are cardboard, is a substantially more damaging one which in view of the characterization of Gervaise Macquart ( L ' Assommoir ), Nana Coupeau ( Nana ), Jacques Lantier ( La Bête humaine ), Serge Mouret ( La Faute de l ' Abbé Mouret ), Jean Macquart ( La Terre ) and Pascal Rougon ( Le Docteur Pascal ), may seriously be doubted.

Although Zola would not accept that it was either scientifically or artistically justifiable to create larger-than-life characters, his work does present a number of larger-than-life symbols which, like the mine Le Voreux in Germinal, take on the nature of a surrogate human life.

The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture but lost to The Life of Emile Zola, and H. B.

The Paris of Zola, Manet, France, Degas, Fauré, a group that had assembled more on the basis of status affinity than actual artistic tastes, indulging in the refinements of Dandyism, was at the opposite end of the economic, social, and political spectrum from the gritty, tough-talking, die-hard, emigrant artists that peopled Montparnasse.

The story of a young prostitute, it was closer to Naturalism and brought him to the attention of Emile Zola.

His career was further overclouded by the long-drawn-out Dreyfus case, in which he took an active part as a supporter of Emile Zola and an opponent of the anti-Semitic and Nationalist campaigns.
