Émile Zola is regarded as one of the most significant French novelists of the 19th century and a founder of Naturalism. He initially published loosely connected novels and worked as a journalist before conceptualizing most of his works as part of a cycle that illuminates the social and political realities of his time. The twenty novels in this series narrate the family saga of the Rougons and Macquarts, addressing the conflict between the bourgeoisie and the working class. Zola, a moderate leftist, aimed to enrich conservative French literature with progressive elements. The novels are arranged in chronological order and tackle central societal issues. The cycle includes titles such as "The Fortune of the Rougons," "Nana," "Germinal," and "Doctor Pascal," each depicting various aspects of life under the Second Empire. Zola's work is considered crucial for understanding the social structures and conflicts of his era and has left a lasting impact on literature.

En la ciudad de Saumur vive modestamente la familia Grandet: el padre, un ex-tonnelier que se ha vuelto riquísimo tras especulaciones fructíferas, su esposa, su hija Eugénie y Nanon, la sirvienta. Estas tres mujeres viven bajo la terrible opresión del jefe de familia, un avaro enfermizo. En la ciudad, los buenos partidos disputan la hipotética mano de Eugénie con la esperanza de casarse con su fortuna. Sin embargo, el primo de Eugénie, un dandy parisino, llega una noche con una carta para su tío. Sin saberlo, trae la noticia del suicidio de su padre arruinado, pidiendo a su hermano que se ocupe de su hijo para ayudarlo a hacer fortuna en las Indias. El avaro anciano se enfrentará a la candidez y generosidad de Eugénie. Balzac retrata crudamente, sin concesiones, las costumbres de una época que no está tan alejada de la nuestra.
