The Beast Man. Germinal
19.99 €
Emile Zola is one of the pillars of world realistic literature, the founder and theorist of naturalism, a keen researcher of everyday life, a passionate human rights activist and publicist who influenced the entire realistic direction of 20th century literature. His most famous work is the epochal twenty-volume cycle "Rougon-Macquart", which reveals to the reader an endless panorama of human vices and virtues in the scenery of the Second Empire. This is a genuine encyclopedia of life in Paris and the French provinces, using the example of several generations of one family that gave birth to the strangest fruits.
This illustrated edition includes novels that occupy, according to the order of reading prescribed by the author, the fifteenth and sixteenth places in the cycle.
The hero of the novel "The Man-Beast" Jacques Lantier, the son of the heroine of "The Trap" Gervaise Macquart, becomes an involuntary witness to a brutal murder. The events that follow not only change the course of his life, but also awaken a grave moral malaise inherited from previous generations of the family. Another of Gervaise's sons, Etienne Lantier, is destined for a different fate. Sent by the author's will to a mining village in northern France, he becomes the central character of the novel Germinal, one of the most poignant and revolutionary statements about the life of working people in the history of world literature.
