My Translation
My translation is the Chatto & Windus edition from 1900. I purchased it from Bow Window Bookshop in Lewes, East Sussex via Abebooks. Service was excellent and book in good condition.
Setting
Artaud. This is a small village in Provence not far from Plassans-the southern base of the Rougon-Macquart clan. Much of the novel also takes place at Le Paradou, an abandoned estate near to the village of Artaud.
