The Dream is a novel written by the French author Emile Zola. It was first published in 1888 and is part of his famous Rougon-Macquart series. The story is set in the mid-19th century and revolves around the life of a young artist named Claude Lantier.Claude is a struggling painter who dreams of creating a masterpiece that will establish his reputation in the art world. He is deeply passionate about his work and is constantly searching for new ways to express himself. However, his obsession with art begins to take a toll on his mental and emotional well-being.As the story progresses, Claude becomes increasingly isolated and detached from the world around him. He becomes consumed by his own thoughts and desires, leading to a downward spiral of self-destruction. Along the way, he meets several other characters who influence his life, including a wealthy art collector named Sandoz and a woman named Christine who becomes his muse.The Dream is a powerful exploration of the creative process and the toll it can take on an artist's psyche. Zola's vivid descriptions of the art world and the characters' inner struggles make for a compelling and thought-provoking read. It is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.When she held her in her arms pressed against her breast, she felt that she was trembling. She almost seemed to avoid her usual evening kiss. Looking anxiously in her face, Hubertine read in her eyes the feverish expectation connected with the hoped-for meeting. It was all so evident to her that she promised herself to keep a close watch.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
