About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Mysteries of Marseilles by Émile Zola. (Translated by Ernest Alfred Vizetelly.) Read in English by Celine Major The elopement of Philippe Cayol, an aspiring liberal, poor and untitled with Blanche De Cazalis, niece of a powerful millionaire and politician sets the stage in this novel full of twists and turns with villains a plenty. Philippe's brother Marius strives to protect the two lovers from the De Cazalis' uncontrolled fury. Although written in his youth Zola's signature style, his indignation about injustice and his vivid characterization of the noble, the wealthy and common man is very evident in this non stop adventure. - Summary by Celine Major
