Representation of financial speculation in the novels of Émile Zola La Curée and L´Argent
FEJTKOVÁ, Blanka
In this Bachelor thesis, I pursue a thematic analysis of the financial word and the financial speculations in two novels written by a French writer Émile Zola, a representative of French naturalisme, L'Argent and La Curée. I devote the theoretical part to the historical context, the period in which Émile Zola lived, which is the second half of the 19th century. Further, I develop the literary context with the characteristics of realism, naturalism and the naturalistic novel. At the end of the theoretical part, I study the life of Émila Zola, the cycle of Rougon-Macquart and other pieces of his literary work. The second part of the bachelor thesis is analytical. I focus in detail on two selected novels from the Rougon-Macquart cycle (La Curée and L'Argent), which I thematically analyse in order to show how Émile Zola projects the theme of money and financial speculation into them. The whole bachelor thesis is written in French.
