Germinal

Publisher Marketing: Una joya de la literatura, "Germinal" no solo es una de las mejores novelas del prolifico escritor Emile Zola (Paris, 1840, Paris, 1902), sino ademas una de las mejores novelas de la literatura francesa. Emile Zola narra con una precision de cirujano la vida y la miseria de los trabajadores de una mina francesa. Se percibe en cada pagina el sabor amargo de la explotacion del hombre por el hombre y la embriaguez del poder. Acumulada como el temible grisu, la conciencia de clase empieza a despertar entre los mineros, quienes exigen la mejora de su situacion laboral a traves de la huelga. Las fuerzas avidas de justicia social, amenazan con estallar y arrasar todo a su paso, pero la burguesia representada por los patrones y defendida por el Estado no estara dispuesta a ceder ni un solo palmo de terreno ante los agitadores socialistas. En "Germinal," Emile Zola despliega su genio literario para lograr un perfecto retrato de las condiciones laborales de su epoca y de los avatares del movimiento obrero del siglo XIX, ese siglo al que el siglo XXI insiste tanto en parecerse y al que el siglo XX le debe una cuota significativa de horror y destruccion. "Germinal" ha sido traducida a decenas de lenguas y publicada en cientos de paises y ha sido fuente de inspiracion para diversas adaptaciones cinematograficas y producciones de television.

Zola's best-known literary works include the twenty-volume Les Rougon-Macquart, an epic work that examined the influences of violence, alcohol and prostitution on French society through the experiences of two families, the Rougons and the Macquarts. Other remarkable works by Zola include Contes ? Ninon, Les Myst?res de Marseille, and Th?r?se Raquin. In addition to his literary contributions, Zola played a key role in the Dreyfus Affair of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. His newspaper article J'Accuse accused the highest levels of the French military and government of obstruction of justice and anti-semitism, for which he was convicted of libel in 1898. After a brief period of exile in England, Zola returned to France where he died in 1902. ?mile Zola is buried in the Panth?on alongside other esteemed literary figures Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas.
