À propos de cet audio
Perhaps the most autobiographical of Zola's Rougon-Macquart cycle of novels, The Masterpiece is a hard, bleak, and raw portrait of unrecognized artistic genius. Claude Lantier, brother to Nana and son of Gervaise, is a struggling painter who dreams of conquering the Paris art scene with his revolutionary "open air" style of painting. Discouraged and mocked, Claude retreats to the countryside with a young woman from Clermont, with whom he has fallen in love, before returning to Paris, where he continues to experience rejection at every turn. Zola's depiction of a frustrated artist is said to have drawn heavily on the real-life experiences of Edouard Manet and Paul Cezanne, the latter of whom broke off his friendship with the author upon reading the novel.

Brilliantly narrated, but it wasn't my cup of tea
I really wanted to love this book because it came highly recommended to me as a brilliant classic. While the story seemed to be well written, I just could not engage with the protagonist, Claude.. nor did I feel for his character's obsession or the others caught up in it. I thought Leighton Pugh did a phenomenal job narrating this book though. And Pugh was the sole reason why I finished the book. I'm sure there are lots of people who loved this Masterpiece, but I'm not one of them. If you love Zola -especially his Rougon-Macquart saga, then I'd recommend this book to you. I am willing to give this author another try (I have his saga in ebook) and definitely will listen to Pugh again..
