Rome, Lourdes and Paris collectively name one series by this author, and in one of this man's novels
Rome, Lourdes and Paris collectively name one series by this author, and in one of this man's novels, a woman is raped on a pile of rope in a shed at Requillart. That work eventually sees the protagonist kill Chaval with a piece of slate before his rescue from the bottom of a mineshaft. Pauline nearly marries the death-obsessed Lazare in his The Joy of Life. Other titles such as The (*) Dram Shop and Nana appear in his Les Rougons-Macquarts. Aside from such longer works as the story of a coal mining strike, Germinal, this author addressed three handwriting experts and various military officials in a letter defending Dreyfus. For 10 points, name this author of "J'accuse"
