"La Curée" is a novel by French writer Émile Zola, published in 1871 as the second installment in his 20-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart. The title, which can be translated as "The Kill" or "The Quarry," refers to the spoils of the hunt and is a metaphor for the frenzied speculation and corruption of the Second Empire's society, particularly in the context of the Parisian property boom.

The novel focuses on the character of Aristide Saccard, who was briefly introduced in the first novel of the series, "La Fortune des Rougon." Saccard takes advantage of the period's urban redevelopment, led by Baron Haussmann, to amass a considerable fortune through unscrupulous real estate speculation. The narrative delves into his personal life, including his marriage to Renée, a young and beautiful woman from a troubled background, and their subsequent descent into a life of excess and moral decay.

"La Curée" is a study of the effects of greed and hedonism on the individual and society. Zola's naturalistic approach paints a detailed portrait of the characters' psychological depths and the social milieu in which they operate. The novel is noted for its vivid descriptions of Parisian life, the transformation of the cityscape, and the intricate financial schemes that characterized the era.

As part of Les Rougon-Macquart, "La Curée" is a significant work in Zola's examination of the impact of heredity and environment on the lives of a fictional family during the Second French Empire. The novel is considered an important example of literary naturalism and a critical social commentary on the excesses of the time.
