L' argent

About “L' argent”

Aristide Rougon, known as Saccard, is a failed property speculator determined to make his way once more in Paris, scheming and manipulating his way to power. Financial undertakings in the Middle East lead to a powerful new bank and stock market speculation, while Saccard conducts his love life as energetically as his business, previously encountered in The Kill within Zola's Rougon-Macquart series.
