He was also an aggressive critic, his articles on literature and art appearing in Villemessant's journal L'Événement.[9] After his first major novel, Thérèse Raquin (1867), Zola started the series called Les Rougon-Macquart. However, the following novels (see the individual titles in the Livre de poche series) scarcely touch on life in Paris: La Terre (peasant life in Beauce), Le Rêve (an unnamed cathedral city), Germinal (collieries in the northeast of France), La Joie de vivre (the Atlantic coast), and the four novels set in and around Plassans (modelled on his childhood home, Aix-en-Provence), (La Fortune des Rougon, La Conquête de Plassans, La Faute de l'Abbé Mouret and Le Docteur Pascal)[citation needed].	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3996.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3996.txt
