Doctor Pascal is a novel written by French author Emile Zola. It is the final book in his twenty-novel series titled Les Rougon-Macquart, which explores the lives of two branches of a family during the Second French Empire. The story revolves around Doctor Pascal Rougon, a physician and scientist who is determined to prove his theories about heredity and the effects of environment on human behavior. He has been conducting experiments on his own family members, including his niece Clotilde, who becomes his assistant and confidante.As Doctor Pascal nears the end of his life, he decides to publish a book detailing his research and findings, which he believes will revolutionize the field of medicine. However, his family is afraid of the scandal that may result from the revelations in the book, and they try to prevent its publication.The novel explores themes of heredity, family dynamics, and the conflict between science and tradition. It is a powerful examination of the human condition, and a fitting conclusion to Zola's epic series.It was a new hell. There were no more violent quarrels between Pascal and Clotilde. The doors were no longer slammed. Voices raised in dispute no longer obliged Martine to go continually upstairs to listen outside the door. They scarcely spoke to each other now; and not a single word had been exchanged between them regarding the midnight scene, although weeks had passed since it had taken place. He, through an inexplicable scruple, a strange delicacy of which he was not himself conscious, did not wish to renew the conversation, and to demand the answer which he expected--a promise of faith in him and of submission.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
