About This Book
Den dygtige unge maler Claude Lantier flytter til Paris for at bedåre kunstverdenen med sit store talent. Mens hans drøm om storhed bliver latterliggjort af den snobbede parisiske elite, bliver hans barndomsven Pierre Sandoz en feteret skikkelse, som lovprises for sine romaner. Claude bliver mere og mere bitter på sin ven og på hele den verden, som han vil gøre alt for at blive accepteret af, og lige så stille ofrer han alt på kunstens ubarmhjertige alter.”Mesterværket” er inspireret af Zolas tætte venskab med maleren Cézanne, og bogen tegner et unikt billede af de to geniers venskab og det turbulente kunstneriske miljø, de levede i i 1860’ernes Paris. Det er den mest selvbiografiske af de 20 romaner i Zolas ikoniske serie ”Les Rougon-Macquart”. Bogen udkom første gang i 1886.Les Rougon-MacquartÉmile Zolas berømte serie ”Les Rougon-Macquart” fortæller i løbet af tyve bind historien om to adelige familier under det andet franske kejserrige fra 1852-1870.
