Émile Zola in exile in England : a Talk with Odile Hughson
Join us at the Institut Français d’Écosse on 8th February for this talk given by Odile Hughson on the writer Émile Zola!
About Émile Zola in exile in England : a Talk with Odile Hughson
In 1899, the writer E. Zola took a courageous stance in defence of the wrongly accused Dreyfus and was himself threatened with imprisonment. He fled to London, without any luggage and unable to speak English.
This crucial time of his life is described through his observations and the excellent photographs he took.
One can compare the places he found interesting with their aspect about one century later.
Odile will reveal the story of the plaque she and her husband put on the house he occupied.
