The Fortune of the Rougons: Les Rougon-Macquart #1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781535123822)

The novel is partly an origin story, with a huge cast of characters swarming around - many of whom become the central figures of later novels in the series - and partly an account of the December 1851 coup d' tat that created the French Second Empire under Napoleon III as experienced in a large provincial town in southern France.
