Find the outline of Zola Inn.

Zola's Hotel, written in 1877, is the seventh in his Lugong-Markard family series. In the preface, the writer said that this novel "is the most meticulous one in my works", and it "is a work that describes reality, and it is the first novel that describes the people without lying or smelling of the people". Elvis Presley, the heroine of this work, is the third generation of Markard's family and the mother of Etienne and Nana, the protagonists of Germination.

The story of the hotel took place around 1860, when Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte ruled Paris in its heyday. At this time, French capitalism began to develop and handicraft workers gradually declined. In Zola's original words, what he wants to describe is "the unfortunate decline of a worker's family in the corrupt environment of our suburbs." Because of alcoholism and neglect of production, family relations are also very bad, so that men and women live together and do everything they can, so that moral concepts gradually decay, and finally humiliation and death. The heroes and heroines in the novel, Bo Gu and Chilves, are hardworking and conscientious workers, and they form a happy family. However, since the industrial accident in Bo Gu, they gradually fell into idleness and poverty due to alcoholism until they died of madness.

From the writer's original intention, Zola wants to explain how the bad habit of drinking in a bad environment leads to human depravity from the perspective of natural science, especially genetics. The objective and calm narrative requirements of naturalism make the whole work full of true and accurate details. This novel is like a documentary recording the life of the hero and heroine, and it is also like a vast picture showing the social outlook at that time, where the trauma of the lower class is exposed. This makes the meaning of the work far beyond the writer's original intention, forming a humanitarian spiritual shock.

Zola always thinks that the novelist's duty is to discover the truth, truly feel and express nature. Nothing is more convincing than facts. People's value is the most precious in the world, and a person's road to destruction, especially simple ordinary people like Elvis and Bo Gu, has a great touch on readers. Perhaps the protagonist's depravity is due to her own behavior, but from beginning to end, readers can see that Elvis Presley's requirements for life are not too high. Her ideal is to have food and shelter, not to be hungry and cold, and not to be beaten by men. Her depravity is part of the depravity of the whole world. In this respect, the inn is not only a moral exhortation, it is appreciated by different people all over the world, thanks to its humanitarian creative spirit.

The Lugong-McCarde family in Zola's works consists of five generations. The novel tells the history of the Second Reich with the help of personal tragedies from generation to generation, and shows the strange era full of madness and shame. Hugo once called for not exposing people's incurable wounds at will, but Zola thought: "We should expose these wounds and make those who have the responsibility to heal them feel ashamed." /kloc-After reading this work for more than 0/00 years, the joys and sorrows of the characters are still unforgettable. The images of Elvis Presley and Bo Gu family have become a beautiful landscape in the world literature corridor with their fullness and credibility.
