Rougon-Macquart series, book three!
Oxford World's Classics, I'm really disappointed with the information you've been giving in your end-notes about characters and events from other novels. Surely you could omit giving away major plot details for the series. Granted, not everyone is going to read the series from book one to twenty, but I am. It really undermines how I feel about your books. You go to all this trouble to put out a new translation, for a very niche audience, and then you ruin the experience by spoiling events from novels we haven't got to yet!
