His Excellency Eugene Rougon, Book Six of Rougon-Macquart Cycle by Emile Zola audiobook.

Genre: drama

Step into the smoky salons, marble halls and whispering corridors of the Second Empire with Émile Zola’s incisive portrait of power in His Excellency Eugène Rougon, Book Six of the Rougon–Macquart cycle. In this compelling auditory rendition, listeners follow Eugène Rougon, a brilliant, implacable political operator whose temperate exterior masks an iron will and an endless appetite for influence. Zola lays bare the machinery of government—ministerial rivalries, media manipulation, backroom deals and the corrosive pleasures of authority—rendered with the novelist’s uncompromising naturalism and sardonic wit. The novel is as much a study of a single dominant personality as it is a panorama of an era: families, fortunes and reputations are swept up in the tides Rougon steers, and every whispered secret or calculated compromise has consequences. Perfect for listeners who love character-driven narratives and historical realism, this audiobook brings Zola’s razor-sharp observations to life, making the suspense of political ascent and the moral cost of domination impossible to ignore.
