About this book

Financially ruined by a previously failed enterprise, Aristide Saccard, a ruthless and ambitious speculator, endeavors to recover his fortune by establishing the fictitious Banque Universelle. Through Saccard's reliance on intrigue and market manipulation, Émile Zola explores the devastating effects of speculation on all social strata, from the rich to the poor, and offers a satirical indictment of the corruption and negligence of contemporary financial systems.

Published in 1891, Money is a work of French Naturalism by Émile Zola and the eighteenth novel in his twenty-volume Rougon-Macquart series. While infused with his 1890's perspective, Zola's meticulously researched narrative delves into the world of the Second French Empire's financial market (1852-1870), detailing Saccard's use of intrigue and financial manipulation to inflate his company's value. The novel still serves as a powerful and all-too-topical exploration of the dynamics of greed and its relationship with politics and the press.
