| Summary: | Usually known due to his journalistic commitment and his famous novels, Emile Zola succumbs to the « theatrical temptation » described by Philippe Chardin. Besides his original theatre plays, the author adapts some of his novels for the stage at the end of the nineteenth century. Such is the case of the drama in five acts adapted from La Curée and entitled Renée, which it’s interesting to examine the creating process. Indeed, during the ten years between the novel and its adaptation, Zola writes three other texts inspired by Les Rougon-Macquart: a short story, Nantas; the plan of a drama based on this short story and a storyline entitled Un homme à vendre. Therefore, it appears that La Curée and its variations constitute a short serie which raises the questions of theatrical adaptation and its practical needs. |
