And who would want to speak to such a wretched creature? He was terrified of what would happen to him, what they would do, but most of all… he was worried when he snapped. He could barely speak without a special mask. And those others who weren’t of that mad group, their eyes were lined with fear, as they looked at a monster. They wanted to tear him apart, no doubt about that. They were the others of the military, the sick quacks, and rich people who always got what they want.
Too many were confident they could control. And his eyes… when he looked back… he saw in his eyes a feral beast, something that would relish every moment of carnage, panic, and pain. His mouth had mutated into a hideous maw with four mandibles. His hair had become tendrils, long and oily.
When he looked at himself, he couldn’t even look at the face that peered back. Everyone knew the burden of such power, and were afraid. A 15-year-old kid, with no real issues, who gained superpowers. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Émile Zola's The Beast Within is a classic work of French literature reimagined for modern readers.Wen. The Beast Within is a story of family and fate, a thrilling and detailed novel that continues a series rich enough for its author to explore in twenty total volumes. When he begins an affair with Severine, the wife of his boss Roubaud, he is roped into a plot to kill the man and steal a secret fortune.
When a police investigation fails to find the killer, life in Le Havre returns to a sense of calm, and even Lantier seems to put the past behind him. At the last moment, he flees before he can harm her, only to witness a gruesome murder at night by the railroad tracks. While waiting for his train to get repaired, he meets his cousin Flore, a beautiful young woman who inflames him with desire and deadly intent. Kept in check by his dedication to his work as an engine driver, he manages to suppress the disturbing fantasies of rape and murder that fill his tortured mind. Spanning the entirety of the French Second Empire, Zola provides a sweeping portrait of change that refuses to shy away from controversy and truth as it gets to the heart of heredity and human nature. The seventeenth of twenty volumes of Zola's monumental Les Rougon-Macquart series is an epic story of family, politics, class, and history that traces the disparate paths of several French citizens raised by the same mother.
The Beast Within (1890) is a novel by French author Émile Zola.
