为什么值得读
- 极其震撼且令人心碎地呈现煤矿工人生态
- 深刻探讨境遇对人性的塑造与资本运作本质
- 让人反复重读的荒岛级文学巨著
作为 Emile Zola 宏伟的 Rougon-Macquart 系列小说的第十三部,Germinal 表达了对少数人剥削多数人现象的极大愤慨,同时也展现了人性中同情与希望的力量。Etienne Lantier 是一名失业的铁路工人,他聪明但未受过教育,且脾气暴躁危险。在找不到其他工作的情况下,他被迫在 Le Voreux 煤矿从事繁重的体力劳动,随后发现他的矿工同伴们饱受疾病、饥饿和债务的折磨,无力供养家人温饱。当矿区的生活条件进一步恶化时,Lantier 发现自己成了一场罢工的领袖……

是的,Sowell 的书对人确实有这种杀伤力。等你的脑子缓过神来,我建议你(以及所有人)读读左拉的杰作《萌芽》,简直就是资本主义美德的绝佳见证。
Yes, Sowell has that effect on people. Once you get your mind back together, I recommend that you (and anyone) read Zola's masterpiece, Germinal, a testament to the virtues of capitalism.
……美国南部,人物刻画得太好了。一个关于权力的故事。一本思想之书;探讨了原罪、人如何被境遇左右、主观道德,等等很多。还有左拉的《萌芽》。这大概是我的荒岛之书,我都读过无数遍了。它令人心碎地刻画了法国矿工的生活。我坐在这里打字,光是想到那头可怜的驴子活在……眼泪就忍不住打转。
…southern US, the characters are so well done. A story of power. A book of ideas; it discusses original sin, how people are influenced by their circumstance, subjective morality, and much more. Zola's Germinal. Probably my desert island book. I've read it so many times. A soul crushing portrait of life as a miner in France. I'm sitting here typing, getting tears in my eye just over the poor donkey that lived…
我能给你开张书单吗?去读左拉的《萌芽》。读《白鲸》。读《草叶集》。读《傲慢与偏见》。读《李尔王》。读《悲惨世界》。读《吕西斯特拉忒》。读《奥德赛》。读任何伟大的作品。我们所有人(在“所有人”的合理定义下)都在渴望。这是生而为人的宿命。“真正……
May I prescribe a course in reading? Read Zola's Germinal. Read Moby Dick. Leaves of Grass. Pride and Prejudice. King Lear. Les Miserables. Lysistrata. The Odyssey. Anything great. We all (for reasonable values of 'all') yearn. It's the human condition. "true…
……改变了我对人类思维方式的看法。在古典小说里,目前最棒的是:德莱塞的《堡垒》、毛姆的《人性的枷锁》、托尔斯泰的《克罗采奏鸣曲》,以及左拉的《杰作》与《萌芽》。
…altered my view on how humans think. Among the classic fiction the best so far were: T. Dreiser - The Bulwark, S. Maugham - Of Human Bondage, L. Tolstoy - The Kreutzer Sonata and E. Zola - l'Oeuvre & Germinal.
尽管现在的科技打工比18世纪的煤矿采矿好太多了,但我认为拿出一本左拉的《萌芽》读读还是挺有益的,它能提醒我们:把整个人生彻底绑架给一家大公司,通常对我们没什么好果子吃。
Despite tech jobs being much better than 18th century coal mining, I think it might do us some good to pick up Zola's Germinal and remind ourselves that wholly attaching one's life to a corporation generally doesn't work out in our favor.
在文学世界里,你能找到很多你所描述的东西。随便列举几本:狄更斯的《艰难时世》、斯坦贝克的《愤怒的葡萄》、埃米尔·左拉的《萌芽》。还有多纳托的《混凝土中的基督》。如果你想看非虚构类的,我可以推荐埃伦赖希的《我在底层的生活》(Nickel and Dimed)或者特克尔的《工作》(Working)。
In the world of literature you will find much of what you're describing. Just to name a few: "Hard Times" by Dickens, "The Grapes of Wrath" by Steinbeck, "Germinal" by Émile Zola. "Christ in Concrete" by Donato is another one. If you want non-fiction, I can recommend "Nickel and Dimed" by Ehrenreich or "Working" by Terkel.
