Čovek zver

Čovek zver

Émile Zola

The main character, Etienne Rouen, represents the archetypal figure of a modern man whose character is marked by inner brutality.

He is an industrialist obsessed with power, ambition and material wealth. In his relentless pursuit of success, Etienne turns into an immoral being who uses and manipulates others to satisfy his own selfish ends. Through vivid descriptions of the industrial revolution and social tensions, Zola explores the dark side of human nature, the corruption and dehumanization that result from greed and the desire for power. The novel raises questions about morality, guilt, and the consequences of selfish actions. "The Beast Man" is a book that often causes controversy due to its explicitness and pessimistic view of human nature. However, it also offers deep insights into social problems and provides insight into the mechanisms of power and their impact on the individual and society. Zola's writing style is detailed and suggestive, conjuring vivid images of the setting in which the action takes place. "Beast Man" is a novel that provokes thinking about moral issues and places a mirror in front of the reader, forcing him to face the dark sides of human nature. It is important to note that this book is part of a wider cycle of novels by Emil Zola and that understanding the context and other works from that cycle is useful for a complete understanding of "Beast Man" and its themes.
