Yet it is the very abundance of God's rain, initially observed from the window of their imposing farmhouse, which comes to pose a dire threat to not merely their livelihood but their very lives. Along with the complementary stories presented here, the celebrated \"Blood\" and \"Three Wars,\" this is a departure from the dark realism for which Zola is more commonly known.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Émile Zola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843911884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843911883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hesperus Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 4.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Émile Zola","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486164365567,"sku":"9781843911883","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72b33e93-cb47-497b-81e0-74c3819d93e9.jpg?v=1778054097","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-flood-zmile-zola-9781843911883","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
