The Dreyfus Case, dramatized in the 1937 film The Life of Emile Zola, starring Paul Muni, precipitated a drastic separation between Church and State in France, and permanently embittered Zola against the Church. "Civilization will not attain to its perfection," wrote Zola, "until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest."

Emile Zola was born in 1840 in Paris, France. He spent his early childhood in Provence and later moved to Paris. He was friends with such influential people as Paul Cezanne and began writing at a young age. His mother had ambitions for him to become a lawyer... unlike most good little French children, Zola failed his baccalauréat. Zola began his career as a journalist and art critic. He began by writing short stories and essays.

Zola was convicted of libel and after his internationally covered trial sentenced to a year long jail term but fled to England. He returned to France when the charge against him was dismissed. Dreyfus was exhonerated and regained full honours with the military. Back in France Zola continued writing, including his Les Quatre Évangiles (Four Gospels); Fécondité (Fruitfulness) (1900), Travail (Labor) (1901), Vérité (Truth) (1903), and Justice (unfinished). Émile Zola died on 29 September 1902 at his home in Paris under what some claim to be suspicious circumstances of carbon monoxide poisoning by stopping up his chimney. He was first interred at the Cimetière de Montmartre in Paris, then later moved to The Panthéon in the Latin Quarter of Paris, France.

Born in Paris, France, the son of an Italian engineer, Émile Zola spent his childhood in Aix-en-Provence and was educated at the Collège Bourbon (now called College Mignet). At age 18 he returned to Paris where he studied at the Lycée Saint-Louis. After working at several low-level clerical jobs, he began to write a literary column for a newspaper. Controversial from the beginning, he did not hide his disdain for Napoleon III, who used the Second Republic as a vehicle to become Emperor.
