Description:

"Mysterious disappearances, domestic intrigues, and silent, bloodless crimes abound... The law may delve deep, but when the crime itself goes unnoticed... oh yes, many a murderer walks free in the sun." In Thérèse Raquin, Therese is trapped in a bleak existence with her ailing husband Camille, enduring a monotonous and joyless life. Her escape comes in the form of an affair with Camille’s friend Laurent. However, their happiness is threatened by Camille’s presence, leading them to plot his murder. In eliminating Camille, they unwittingly destroy the very passion that binds them. First published in 1867, this gripping tale of dark desire and betrayal remains compelling. Adam Thorpe's unflinching new translation brings Émile Zola's shocking masterpiece to vivid life. "Adam Thorpe's version deserves to become the standard English text" (Daily Telegraph).
