Description for The Dream
Paperback. Provides a detailed portrait of provincial nineteenth-century life. Adhering to a naturalist approach, this book eschews many of the characteristics of the author's other novels of the "Rougon-Macquart" cycle - such as a pronounced polemical agenda or a gritty subject matter - offering instead a lyrical tale of love and innocence. Translator(s): Brown, Andrew. Num Pages: 400 pages, black & white halftones. BIC Classification: FC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 132 x 20. Weight in Grams: 244.

One day love, in the shape of Felicien Hautecoeur, enters the dream world she has constructed around herself, bringing about upheaval and distress.
