Book excerpt: "The Three Cities Trilogy: Paris, Complete" by Émile Zola Pierre Froment is the main character, who, having lost all faith, decides to devote himself to charity for the poorest in the world without success. He then opposes his chemist and anarchist brother, the inventor of a new high-powered explosive, who wants to change the world with the use of terror and violence, leading the hero to understand the need for a new way of organizing society to fight poverty. Zola also paints a picture of the Paris of money, politics, and pleasure, as opposed to the extreme poverty that leads to anarchy.
