Abounding with vivid descriptions of the miner’s inner and outer worlds, as well as the violent and often unjustified impulses of man, 'Germinal' is a superbly written, unforgettable novel. 'Germinal' voices outrage at the downtrodding of the many by the few, but also displays humanity’s limitless capacity for compassion and hope.
Widely regarded as the founding father of scientific naturalism in literature, which aimed to describe the human condition as it really is, Zola was considered an influence by many prominent artists and writers of his time and the coming era, such as Vincent van Gogh, Tom Wolfe and John Steinbeck.
Émile Zola (1840-1902) was a French novelist, journalist, and playwright, and one of the most important representative of French naturalism. His literary topics include violence and its repercussions, alcoholism and problems within the family unit. Zola influenced countless writers representative of the "new journalism" style of writing, namely Tom Wolfe, Truman Capote, and Gay Talese. His best known works include 'Germinal', 'Nana' and 'Work'. Nominated twice in the first two instances of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
