Trovačnica

Émile Zola

The novel Trovačnica was published in sequels during 1876, and in book form in 1877. It is a story about a woman's struggle for happiness in the working class of Paris.

In the center of the story is Gervaise, who starts her own laundry and is successful in business for a while. But her husband soon squanders her earnings at Trovačnica, a local coffee house, and the couple gradually sinks into poverty and misery. Trovacnica was a bestseller at the time, infuriating conservative critics and sparking an impassioned debate about the legitimate framework of modern literature.
