Dans la chaleur de l'ardente apres-midi de juillet, la salle, aux volets soigneusement clos, etait pleine d'un grand calme. Il ne venait, des trois fenetres, que de minces fleches de lumiere, par les fentes des vieilles boiseries; et c'etait, au milieu de l'ombre, une clarte tres douce, baignant les objets d'une lueur diffuse et tendre. Il faisait la relativement frais, dans l'ecrasement torride qu'on sentait au dehors, sous le coup de soleil qui incendiait la facade.

The same traits made him a best-selling author and a star of French literature in his day. In 1898 he then further incurred the wrath of French officials when he published the open letter "J'Accuse," in defense of Alfred Dreyfus, an Army officer who had been convicted of treason. Zola was sentenced to prison for libel, fled to England, and was granted amnesty a few months later. He die
