Intended to be studies of social milieus, Zola’s novels are topographical. This article explores the representation of an underexamined type of fictional space in Zola’s works: the locations that present books or are intended for reading. Zola’s novels feature indeed numerous characters that are readers and that make good or bad use of the books they read, store, or move under strange circumstances and, at times, surprising places. Associated with chaos, secrets, the representation of the body and movement, as well as utopian worlds, environments linked to books and their uses in La Fortune des Rougon, La Curée and Pot-Bouille symbolize transgression. The analysis of locations where books are presented in these novels sheds light on the definition of literature as a symbol of freedom in Zola’s fiction.
