Ten years later, it's even more out of date. Modern translations are available (or will be by the end of 2018) for all of the novels except for Doctor Pascal. Although there's nothing about it on the OUP web site, I suspect that it's on their list of Things to Do. Note that whoever attempted to edit the page by deleting the references to the forthcoming OUP publications of His Excellency Eugene Rougon and The Bright Side of Life erred -- these are not reprints of old editions, but new translations, as can be easily confirmed by a quick visit to the OUP web site, specifically https://global.oup.com/academic/product/his-excellency-eugne-rougon-9780198748250 and https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-bright-side-of-life-9780198753612.

I m currently trying to improve this article. I use the article on the French Wikipedia for that, as well as my knowledge about the cycle (i read all of the books). However, i m not a native English speaker, so style and grammar corrections are welcome. Ksempac ( talk) 19:40, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Ok first part of the major edit done. If i can find enough references and time, i will add more information. Meanwhile, pls review and correct the article Ksempac ( talk) 20:39, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Ok i wanted the quote in the History section, but i'm not sure if copyright is a problem in this case. I found this excellent translation here :
"The Rougon-Macquart - the group, the family, whom I propose to study - has as its prime characteristic the overflow of appetite, the broad upthrust of our age, which flings itself into enjoyments. Physiologically the members of this family are the slow working-out of accidents to the blood and nervous system which occur in a race after a first organic lesion, according to the environment determining in each of the individuals of this race sentiments, desires, passions, all the natural and instinctive human manifestations whose products take on the conventional names of virtues and vices."
However i can't trace the original source, so I'm not sure whether copyright apply to the work of the translator (remember, the original work in French is public domain) ? Until someone can help me clarify this, i decided to use the Project Gutenberg's translation, which is of lower quality but is under a free license :
"The great characteristic of the Rougon-Macquarts, the group or family which I propose to study, is their ravenous appetite, the great outburst of our age which rushes upon enjoyment. Physiologically the Rougon-Macquarts represent the slow succession of accidents pertaining to the nerves or the blood, which befall a race after the first organic lesion, and, according to environment, determine in each individual member of the race those feelings, desires and passions--briefly, all the natural and instinctive manifestations peculiar to humanity--whose outcome assumes the conventional name of virtue or vice."
So if you know about how copyright apply in this case, or if you can find the original source for the first translation that would help me a lot. Thanks in advance for your advices, Ksempac ( talk) 11:34, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Some general information about the contemporary and historical reception of the cycle would be welcome. An overview of the themes covered by the cycle would also be useful: e.g. alcoholism, industrial conditions, impact of industrialization etc. Everybody got to be somewhere!

I don't know how to fix this problem as I just made a mess when editing the chart but the son and daughter of Octave Mouret are by his second wife Denise Baudu, not his first wife Caroline Hédouin -- Astelian ( talk) 10:57, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
