3.2 Avenue Emile Zola

3.2 Avenue Emile Zola

THE DREYFUS AFFAIR: J'ACCUSE! As the situation unfolded with Dreyfus and new evidence came to light, Zola reached his limit of what he could morally tolerate from the lying establishment. By this time, Emile Zola was already a very famous novelist, and he was about to expose the truth to a country that didn’t want to hear it.   Sources  Sam Aronow The Dreyfus Affair  [https://youtu.be/p-pXFErq868?si=NJRy3RXHUL8kmQ1k]  Emile Zola Brittanica [https://www.britannica.com/biography/Emile-Zola]  CNRS How the Dreyfus Affair Went Global [https://news.cnrs.fr/articles/how-the-dreyfus-affair-went-global]  J'accuse Letter to the President of the Republic by Emile Zola 1898 [https://www.marxists.org/archive/zola/1898/jaccuse.htm?utm_source=copilot.com] - A must read!  Hachette [https://www.hachette.com/]  Émile Zola (Author of Germinal) - Goodreads [https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4750._mile_Zola]  Music Last Hero by Alex-Productions | https://onsound.eu/ [https://onsound.eu/]  Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ [https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/]  Creative Commons CC BY 3.0

S2.10 Bobigny–Pantin–Raymond Queneau

Bobigny–Pantin–Raymond Queneau is a station at the north end of line 5.  Raymond Queneau believed words were toys—tools for invention and discovery. Philosopher, writer and co-founder of Oulipo, Queneau didn’t just write novels—he rewrote the very idea of what a novel could be.  Oulipo – Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oulipo] Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oulipo]  Fnac [https://www.fnac.com/a230809/Raymond-Queneau-Cent-mille-milliards-de-poemes] Site Gallimard [https://www.gallimard.fr/catalogue/cent-mille-milliards-de-poemes/9782070104673] Radio France [https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceculture/podcasts/l-instant-poesie/cent-mille-milliards-de-poemes-de-raymond-queneau-la-poesie-en-partage-9400284]  Le petit lecteur [https://www.lepetitlecteur.fr/zazie-dans-le-metro/analyse-langage/]  EBSCO Research Starter – Oulipo [https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/literature-and-writing/oulipo-group-authors] EBSCO [https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/literature-and-writing/oulipo-group-authors]  Tetragrammaton – Creativity of Limitation [https://www.tetragrammaton.com/content/cosmicrespiration-9xrr3-nt2b2] tetragrammaton.com [https://www.tetragrammaton.com/content/cosmicrespiration-9xrr3-nt2b2]  Gilliam Writers Group – Oulipo’s Legacy [https://www.gilliamwritersgroup.com/blog/the-oulipos-legacy-using-literary-constraints-to-innovate-writing] gilliamwritersgroup.com [https://www.gilliamwritersgroup.com/blog/the-oulipos-legacy-using-literary-constraints-to-innovate-writing]  Oxford Academic – The Oulipo and Modern Thought [https://academic.oup.com/book/32423] Oxford Academic [https://academic.oup.com/book/32423]  Music: Embracing this World by Keys of Moon | https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoon [https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoon]  Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ [https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/]  Creative Commons CC BY 4.0  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/]
