About Germinie Lacerteux

The founding document of French naturalism (1865) — the Goncourt brothers' novel about their late servant's secret life of alcoholism and degradation, based on events they witnessed. The first major French novel to insist that the poor deserved the same serious literary attention as the aristocracy, and the direct predecessor to Zola.
