内容提要

  

    Translated, with an introduction, by Larry Duffy Germinal (1885) is the thirteenth in Emile Zola's cycle of twenty novels about the Rougon-Macquart dynasty. It tells the story of Etienne Iantier, from the illegitimate Macquart branch of the family, who arrives in the mining.settlement of Montsou, and witnesses at first hand the appalling conditions in which miners live and work.Gradually becoming embroiled in a bitter dispute between the miners and their employers, he eventually leads the strike which is the centrepiece of the novel. But this is more than the struggle of labour against capital. It is also the struggle of the hungry against the well-fed, against the passivity and resignation passed down over generations of starving  people,  and  ultimately  against  hunger  itself,represented by the fantastical devouring monster of the mine, which swallows up men just as the beast of the modern  industrial  economy  relentlessly  swallows  up capital. This apparent pessimism about society is offset by the possibility of rebirth and regeneration. For all the inherited misery of the downtrodden, the old order may some day be overturned.
