In addition to being a political activist and evidently an even more committed atheist (something to the effect that humanity would not be free 'til the last brick of the last church fell on the head of the last priest), Emile Zola (1840-1902) was quite the looker (by my standards, anyway). Furthermore, in light of the upcoming movie Ratatouille, set in Paris, it is only appropriate that I have discovered he wrote a book called Le Ventre Du Paris (The Stomach of Paris) in 1873.
