This book is the published version of my PhD thesis, which was defended at the University of Glamorgan now known as the University of South Wales, United Kingdom, on August 21st 2003. The original text was edited in accordance with the needs of the book publishing industry and also to appeal to a larger audience. In this work, I tried to show what was at the core of the naturalistic aesthetics: determinism. In Zola's views, determinism is all about the combination between the influence of the social milieu and that of heredity which determines every human being's fate. Beyond that, I took great interest in showing how much we are indebted to Zola due to his undeniable contribution to the renewal of the novel writing techniques. I notably pointed out the anachronistic discourses, the mise en abyme, the hypertrophy of the true detail, the opulence of the metonymic and the synecdochic digressions, or the intrusion of the pagan and religious myths in the naturalistic novel.
