La Bête humaine (Oxford World's Classics)

Most accurate assessment of the complicated state of human emotions.

A randy-er book I have not read. Full of sex and murder. A bit overly pessimistic, but way too fun to not read.

Cuando Zola creyó en la literatura naturalista escribió obras como esta, que es un bello mosaico de la sociedad francesa del XIX en el marco del mundo ferrocarrilero, a través de la historia de un hombre que llega a convertirse en asesino.

Beautifully written, this is the first book in which the reader can't pitty any of the main character's fates. The book has everything from a mad man driven to kill at the sight of a woman, especially naked, murder by poison, to infidelity and the perfect crime.....An absolutly wonderful read!
