Fruitfulness is a non-fiction book written by French author Emile Zola. Originally published in 1899, the book explores the concept of fertility and the importance of procreation in human society. Zola argues that the ability to reproduce is essential for the survival of the human race, and he examines the ways in which various cultures throughout history have celebrated and encouraged fertility. The book is divided into two parts. In the first part, Zola discusses the biological and social aspects of fertility, including the role of women in reproduction and the impact of population growth on society. He also examines the ways in which fertility has been celebrated in various cultures, from ancient Greece and Rome to modern-day France. In the second part of the book, Zola turns his attention to the importance of fertility in literature and the arts. He explores how writers and artists have depicted fertility throughout history, from the erotic art of ancient Greece to the romantic poetry of the Romantic period. Overall, Fruitfulness is a thought-provoking exploration of a topic that is still relevant today. Zola's insights into the importance of fertility and its impact on human society make this book a valuable read for anyone interested in the history of human civilization and the role of reproduction in our lives.As soon as they were face to face on either side of the table, Mathieu began to pour forth his confession, recounting his dream--his poem, as he called it. And the doctor listened without interrupting, evidently won over by the young man's growing, creative emotion. When at last Boutan had to express an opinion he replied: Mon Dieu, my friend, I can tell you nothing from a practical point of view, for I have never even planted a lettuce. I will even add that your project seems to me so hazardous that any one versed in these matters whom you might consult would assuredly bring forward substantial and convincing arguments to dissuade you.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
