Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Zola's masterpiece of working life, Germinal (1885), exposes the inhuman conditions of miners in northern France in the 1860s. By Zola's death in 1902 it had come to symbolize the call for freedom from oppression so forcefully that the crowd which gathered at his State funeral chanted 'Germinal! Germinal!'While it is a dramatic novel of working life and everyday relationships, Germinal is also a complex novel of ideas, given fresh vigor and power in this new translation. It is also the thirteenth book in the RougonMacquart cycle, which celebrates its centenary in October 1993 with a new film version of Germinal starring Gerard Depardieu.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
