“Germinal” is one of the best novels of the great writer Emil Zola, called Maupassant “the most powerful and most amazing of all our works”.
Etienne Lantier is a family representative familiar to the reader from other novels from the Rugon-Makkara series. After dismissal from the railway, Etienne in search of work arrives in the Monsi minerial town. The monstrous living conditions of miners, the difficult conditions of their labor in the hell of the coal mine, hunger and poverty provoke a strike that entailed a chain of tragic events ...
Roman outraged modern criticism with the emphasized naturalism of descriptions, reproaches in deliberate thickening of colors fell upon Zola. But in the very name of the novel, there is a premonition of the possibility of the outcome from this hopeless circle of half -life existence, because Germinal is the first month of spring in the republican calendar, the time of germination of seeds and the appearance of sprouts, the awakening of a new life
