| Summary |
"La vérité en marche: L'affaire Dreyfus" by Émile Zola is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work addresses the infamous Dreyfus Affair, a pivotal political scandal in France centering around wrongful conviction and anti-Semitic sentiments, revealing the struggles for justice and truth in the face of public outrage and prejudice. The opening of the book sets the stage by outlining Zola's motivations and intentions in documenting his perspectives on the Dreyfus Affair over a period of three years. He emphasizes the importance of gathering and presenting truth as a moral obligation, detailing not only his commitment to justice but also the societal turbulence surrounding the case. Zola shares his journey from ignorance to passionate involvement, illustrating how the truth of Dreyfus's innocence compels individuals like M. Scheurer-Kestner to seek justice against significant public and political resistance, highlighting the personal and collective struggles against pervasive anti-Semitic sentiments that plagued France.
