For a Night of Love

For a Night of Love

For a night of love, Julien plays the flute every day for the beautiful Thérèse de Marsanne, whom he sees from his window every day. Despite her daily serenades, the young girl does not look at him and ignores him until the evening, when she invites him into her room. Julien rushes, but is he really prepared for anything for a night of love? Two short dramatic stories by Émile Zola that use a new facet of the author of Rougon-Macquart are presented below.
