Abb Mouret\'s Transgression (La Faute de l\'Abb Mouret) (1875) is the fifth novel in mile Zola\'s twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart.
Unusually for Zola, the novel contains very few characters and locations, and the level of realist observation compared to outright fantasy is most uncharacteristic; however, the novel rema.
Viciously anticlerical in tone, it follows on from the horrific events at the end of La Conqu te de Plassans, focussing this time on a remote Proven al backwater village.
