Émile Zola

2. 4. 1840 – 29. 9. 1902

A French writer and journalist who became a leading voice of naturalism, renowned for his courage in addressing social taboos. In the monumental Rougon-Macquart series, he captured all layers of contemporary society with extraordinary precision and a critical perspective. Through his open letter “J’accuse…!”, he made a significant impact on the Dreyfus Affair and confirmed that he lacked neither courage nor steadfastness in the fight for justice.
