Herr Chabre will unbedingt, dass seine Frau Stella endlich schwanger wird. Aber da ein biologischer Erbe auf sich warten lässt, fährt das Ehepaar auf Wunsch des Arztes in die Bretagne.

Ein wuchtiges Drama. Ein schwarz-weißer Holzschnitt, der die Verhältnisse der Grubenarbeiter in Nordfrankreich schonungslos aufzeigt. Der zeigt, dass selbst unter krassesten Verhältnissen die Leidenschaften der Menschen ihr Leben bestimmen. Émile Zolas "Germinal" ist ein Meisterwerk des Naturalismus und ein eindrucksvolles Zeugnis der sozialen Missstände im Frankreich des 19. Jahrhunderts. Der Roman, der 1885 veröffentlicht wurde, schildert den harten Alltag der Bergarbeiter in Nordfrankreich und ihre verzweifelten Versuche, gegen die unmenschlichen Arbeitsbedingungen aufzubegehren.

The Conquest of Plassans is a psychological drama about a quiet French town whose peace is shattered by the arrival of a manipulative priest, Abbe Faujas. As his influence grows, he disrupts the lives of the townspeople, leading to betrayal, madness, and destruction.

The Mysteries of Marseilles is a thrilling tale of forbidden love, political intrigue, and class struggles. When Philippe, a poor liberal, elopes with Blanche, the niece of a powerful aristocrat, their romance sparks a deadly feud. With Zola’s signature realism, this novel explores love, betrayal, and the fight against injustice.
