Germinal

Realist and Literary Fiction

The thirteenth novel in Emile Zola's twenty-volume Les Rougon-Macquart series, published in 1885. Set among coal miners in northern France, it follows a bitter strike and its brutal suppression, and its unflinching naturalist portrayal of industrial poverty and labor conflict made it one of the most politically influential novels of nineteenth-century French literature.
