Germinal (hardback)

"Bread! Bread! Bread!"

The voice of workers working under inhumane conditions in the coal mines of France in the 19th century. The voice of families touched by hunger, misery and death.

germinal This Latin origin word, meaning seed, expresses a consciousness that will crack the soil on which they live and that will grow in people's consciences and grow for centuries. Germinal is an expression of anger at the exploitation of humanity's feelings of compassion and hope. What Zola presents with his strong observation skills is not just a class conflict, but all the cracks in society. Zola emphasized that morality is not a duty that should only be shouldered by people from the lower classes, and also showed the stains on the foreheads of the bourgeoisie and the authorities. Germinal, the book of labor and bread, is one of the most important works not only of French literature but also of world literature. As a reader, when you finish this book you started reading, maybe you will become a mine worker. Tell me, will the rebellion turn into victory?
