Abstract

A study of the representation of nature on Zola's la Faute de l'Abbé Mouret, showing that Zola's depiction of nature rather than establishing a mere décor for the action of the novel, constitution a personal myth by means of which the author exorcizes his innermost obsessions with sexuality and death.
