This volume notes the famous Affair of the Diamond Necklace whereby Queen Marie Antoinette was thought to have participated in a crime to defraud the crown jewelers. Before King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette's reign, King Louis XV commissioned jewelers Boehmer and Bassenge to make an elaborately expensive necklace for Madame du Barry, a woman with whom he was infatuated. Before the necklace could be finished, King Louis XV died of smallpox. Upon the coronation of Queen Marie Antoinette, the jewelers offered the piece to Marie; the Queen refused. Again, upon the birth of the Dauphin of France, Louis-Joseph in 1781, the necklace was offered and the Queen refused once more. In 1784, a con artist known as Jeanne de Saint-Rémy de Valois started a fake correspondence from the Queen to jewelers Boehmer and Bassenge, informing them that she would like the necklace after all. The jewelers delivered the necklace to the con artists and later complained to Queen Antoinette about never receiving payment. Scandal ensued even after the con artists had been arrested and it was proven the Queen was not involved in the scam. Possibly because of the Queen's already sullied reputation with the French people, she came under much criticism. Today, scholars believe this scandal was one of the last events that led to the French Revolution and Marie Antoinette's execution.

Two of Zola's best known works "The Soil," also known as "The Earth," and "The Rougon-Macquart" are packaged together in this volume. This English translation of "The Soil" in 1888 aroused such an outcry that a prosecution followed, and the translator and publisher, Henry Vizetelly, was sentenced to three months' imprisonment.

A History of Champagne, with Notes on the Other Sparkling Wines of France

Georges Bellenger

From Emile Zola's Rougon-Macquart series: "Pot-Bouille," or "Piping Hot!" as the present translation is called, is an inquiry into the private lives of a number of individuals, who, while they follow different occupations, belong to the same class and live under the same roof. The house in the Rue de Choiseul is one of those immense "maisons bourgeoises," in which, apparently, an infinite number of people live. "Pot-Bouille" is a terrible satire on the "bourgeoisie" - a novel dealing with the home-life of the middle-classes. The pungent odour of life it exhales, as well as its scorching satire on the middle-classes, will be relished by all who prefer the fortifying brutalities of truth to the soft platitudes of lies. As a satire "Piping Hot!" must be read; and as a satire it will rank with Juvenal, Voltaire, Pope, and Swift. (George Moore)
