Questo romanzo di Emile Zola, scrittore e giornalista francese, esponente del naturalismo, fu scritto nel 1867. Venne definito dall'autore un romanzo-studio "psicologico e fidiologico", in riferimento alla complessità caratteriale dei personaggi, sui cui comportamenti si incentra l'analisi dello scrittore. Tutti i personaggi agiscono comunque per egoismo: mamma Raquin cresce la nipote in funzione di suo figlio, soffocandone la personalità per farle poi sposare il figlio inetto.

Im Gegensatz zu Zolas monumentalem Romanwerk, zu seiner unsterblichen Anklage einer Korrupten Justiz im Falle Dreyfus ("J'accuse!") haben seine Kurzgeschichten nur selten die ihnen zukommende Aufmerksamkeit gefunden. Dabei gehören etliche zum Großartigsten, was die Weltliteratur an Kurzprosa besitzt. Dieses Hörbuch ist ein Bespiel davon. Im Gegensatz zu den hochdramatischen Verläufen vieler anderer Erzählungen, fand Zola in "Nantas" eine versöhnliche, sogar humorvolle Lösung.
