“Le quattro stagioni di Giovanni Gourdon” si incentra su quattro fatidiche giornate nella vita di un uomo profondamente radicato nella sua terra natia nel sud della Francia. Lo seguiamo dalla Primavera fino all’Inverno, e sebbene la catastrofe sembri sempre incombente, la speranza non si esaurisce mai. Giovanni Gourdon vive con lo zio prete nel borgo di Dourgues, non distante dal fiume Durance. Abita lì da dieci anni, dieci anni colmi di frasi in latino e di sermoni, ma principalmente trascorsi a imparare a conoscere i flussi e riflussi di quel piccolo angolo di fiume.

"Io accuso" è una lettera scritta nel gennaio 1898 dallo scrittore francese Emile Zola in reazione all'affare Dreyfus, un caso che sconvolse la società francese del tardo XIX secolo. In questo testo Zola rivolge un appello pubblico all'allora presidente Félix Faure. Afferma che Alfred Dreyfus, un ebreo alsaziano, è stato ingiustamente accusato di aver divulgato informazioni alla Germania. Egli riprova la sentenza che condanna Dreyfus all'ergastolo sull'Isola del Diavolo nella Guyana francese. Accusa il governo francese di incarceramento illecito e di antisemitismo.

Quando Zola aveva circa vent'anni, dopo essere stato bocciato al termine delle scuole, si trovò a lavorare nella libreria di Louis Hachette. Utilizzò il suo tempo libero per scrivere queste storie colme di immaginazione e fantasia. Tutte e nove le storie ruotano attorno al personaggio di Ninetta, cui vengono raccontate. Vista l'età dell'autore ai tempi, e il fatto che la maggior parte dei personaggi nella narrazione hanno all'incirca la stessa età, queste storie sono un'eccellente testimonianza della gioventù e di com'era essere giovani nella Francia dell'800.

Wie Mann und Frau sich finden - diesem Thema hat sich Émile Zola in seiner Erzählung "Wie man heiratet" gewidmet. Denn obwohl Mann und Frau offensichtlich zwei verschiedene Sprachen sprechen und unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten, so gehören diese beiden Wesen doch irgendwie zusammen. Zola berichtet von verschiedenen Paaren und lässt einen am Leben vor und nach der Hochzeit teilhaben - unterhaltsam und mit einem Augenzwinkern. Denn, so weiß auch Zola, ist erst einmal der Ehe-Alltag eingekehrt, ist nichts mehr so, wie es mal war.

In "Für eine Liebesnacht" verliebt sich ein schüchterner und armer junger Mann, der zu Träumereien und Flausen neigt, in eine adlige Dame, die nun ihn und seine Liebe gnadenlos für sich ausnutzt. Eine hochdramatische Erzählung, in den die Katastrophe unausweichlich scheint, aber doch auch stets Grund zur Hoffnung bleibt. Zola, noch heute einer der meistgelesenen Autoren der Welt, vermischt in seinen Romanen und Erzählungen auf faszinierende Weise Symbolismus und Naturalismus und schafft so ein Werk, das bedrückende Tiefe und packenden Realitätssinn miteinander vereint.

Naisten aarreaitta -tavaratalon omistaja on herra Octave Mouret. Hän sai tavaratalon omistukseensa naimalla aikaisemman omistajan lesken rouva Hédouinin. Hédouinin kuoleman jälkeen Mouret ihastuu 20-vuotiaaseen myymäläapulaiseen Denise Bauduun, joka ei erityisemmin välitä hänen lähentelyistään. Naisten aarreaitta ei ole vain rakkauskertomus, hurjaa vauhtia kasvavaa tavarataloa Émile Zola pitää raa‘an, kasvukipuisen kapitalismin symbolina. Työntekijöitä käytetään hyväksi ja heille teetetään joka päivä 13-tuntisia työpäiviä.

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 "Die Muscheln des Monsieur Chabre" eine versöhnliche, sogar humorvolle Lösung.

Herr Chabre will unbedingt, dass seine Frau Stella endlich schwanger wird. Aber da ein biologischer Erbe auf sich warten lässt, fährt das Ehepaar auf Wunsch des Arztes in die Bretagne. Hier avanciert der junge Hector schnell zum Freund der Familie und bei traumhafter Landschaft und wundervollem Wetter scheint ein Happy End unausweichlich - fragt sich nur für wen. Diese erzählerische Romanze Zolas besticht mit Geschmeidigkeit, Leichtigkeit und feinem Humor und kitzelt da, wo es am angenehmsten ist - an Herz und Seele!
