Dreyfus affair
In addition the Dreyfus Affair provided the basis for many novels. The last work of Émile Zola (1902), "Truth", transposes the Dreyfus affair to the world of education. Anatole France published "The Island of Penguins" (1907), which recounts the Affair in Book VI: "The Case of 80,000 bundles of hay". Marcel Proust devoted significant passages of his second, third and fourth volumes of "In Search of Lost Time" to Parisian society's reaction to the Dreyfus affair. Other authors have also contributed, such as Roger Martin du Gard, Maurice Barrès, and Robert Harris.
