Often considered Zolas masterpiece. The novels central character is Étienne Lantier, previously seen in LAssommoir (1877), and originally to have been the central character in Zolas "murder on the trains" thriller La Bte humaine (1890) before the overwhelmingly positive reaction to Germinal persuaded him otherwise. The young migrant worker arrives at the forbidding coal mining town of Montsou in the bleak area of the far north of France to earn a living as a miner. Sacked from his previous job on the railways for assaulting a superior, Étienne befriends the veteran miner Maheu, who finds him somewhere to stay and gets him a job pushing the carts down the pit.<br />Étienne is portrayed as a hard-working idealist but also a nave youth; Zolas genetic theories come into play as Étienne is presumed to have inherited his Macquart ancestors traits of hotheaded impulsiveness and an addictive personality capable of exploding into rage under the influence of drink or strong passions. Zola keeps his theorizing in the background and Étiennes motivations are much more natural as a result. He embraces socialist principles, reading large amounts of working class movement literature and fraternizing with Souvarine, a Russian anarchist and political émigré who has also come to Montsou to seek a living in the pits. Étiennes simplistic understanding of socialist politics and their rousing effect on him are very reminiscent of the rebel Silvre in the first novel in the cycle, La Fortune des Rougon (1871).<br />While this is going on, Étienne also falls for Maheus daughter Catherine, also employed pushing carts in the mines, and he is drawn into the relationship between her and her brutish lover Chaval..</p>...3459529Germinal8989https://www.gandhi.com.mx/germinal-9788892546752/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2730383/6247c3ef-df79-4f5b-a152-1179afdef0ca.jpg?v=638384375080770000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20169788892546752_W3siaWQiOiIwYWE5NTk0Yi1iNWZiLTRiNmQtYmQyMi1mNDBkZDBjZGE4NTEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjg5LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo4OSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6IkFnZW5jeSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMDUtMTZUMTE6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9788892546752_<p>Germinal(1885) is the thirteenth novel in Émile Zolas twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart.
