John Berger gives a personal impression of the lives of those in the mining community and compares his situation as an observer with that of Emile Zola in his documentation of the mining village in... Germinal. Berger believes that Germinal is a book about a dream - at times a nightmare - into which Zola projected his conscious and unconscious fears and hopes.
