Emile ZolaEmile Zola, the famous French writer, was born in 1840. His father was an Italian engineerand his mother was French. The family lived in the south of France for a few years, but moved toParis after Emile's father's death, when he was only three. Zola did not pass his high school exams,so he could not study at university. Instead, he worked in several different jobs, before he decidedto become a journalist and writer. At the age of 28, he knew what he wanted to write: a set of twenty books to tell the story oftwo parts of the same family living in France at that time. In this way, he showed people both thegood and the bad sides of change – the change which the Industrial Revolution was bringing to thecountry. In that way, many people compare him to Charles Dickens, the English writer, who wroteabout very similar ideas.Zola wanted to describe life as truly as possible, and did a lot of research to prepare hisbooks. So, for example, he visited coal mines before writing a story of the miners' labour problems;or the theatres in Paris, before writing about the life of an actress.Zola was not just a writer, but also a political journalist.
