Germinal Book

The "Germinal" novel was published in 1885 and is considered the main work of Emile Zola. It describes the inhumane conditions in the mines of the French coal mining area of the 19th century.
The novel sheds light on the conflicts and lines of conflict that arise between capitalists and miners, but also between workers themselves, who disagree about how the terrible conditions can be overcome.
Germinal is considered one of Emile Zola's best works, the author's style and impressive representations are in the foreground. If you read the book, there is no way to remain a mere reader. But you literally feel like you go down to the mine with the workers, work with them, and as you go up the elevator, your eyes are blinded by the daylight.
All in all, this is a timeless book that shows man's inequality, its conflicts and beastly relapses in ruthless, pessimistic openness.
