Germinal
of Ămile Zola, Roger Pearson (Translator, Introduction)
Series: Les Rougon-Macquart #13
Description
The thirteenth novel in Ămile Zolaâs great Rougon-Macquart sequence, Germinal expresses outrage at the exploitation of the many by the few, but also shows humanityâs capacity for compassion and hope.Etienne Lantier, an unemployed railway worker, is a clever but uneducated young man with a dangerous temper. Forced to take a back-breaking job at Le Voreux mine when he cannot get other work, he discovers that his fellow miners are ill, hungry, in debt, and unable to feed and clothe their families. When conditions in the mining community deteriorate even further, Lantier finds himself leading a strike that could mean starvation or salvation for all.âąNew translationâą Includes introduction, suggestions for further reading, filmography, chronology, explanatory notes, and glossary
