The Fat and the Thin by Émile Zola
"The Fat and the Thin" by Émile Zola is a novel published in 1873. Set in Les Halles, the massive central market of 19th-century Paris, it follows Florent, an escaped political prisoner who returns to his half-brother's family seeking refuge. They secure him work as a fish inspector, but his involvement in a socialist plot threatens his freedom. Zola's vivid descriptions capture the atmosphere of the market halls and working-class life, including
the famous "Cheese Symphony" passage with its ingenious orchestral metaphors. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
