ANZ LitLovers LitBlog - Germinal by Emile Zola - the book and the movie

 

I am a frequent reader of Lisa Hill’s ANZ LitLovers LitBlog. Perhaps you won't keep up by reading every book from every post - but at least you will have a good idea of what you should be reading. You will be in the know. 

I subscribe to the blog and get a missive in my email every day.  To-day's looks magnificent: Germinal by Emile Zola An epic tale. But, Gerard Depardieu fan that I am I think I will hunt down the movie after seeing the trailer below.

Herself is an out-and-out Francophile and has a couple of trips to Paris under her belt and, of course, visited La Coupole. La Coupole was at its height between the wars when Hemingway and Picasso were habitues just to name two. But the souvenir Limoges cup and saucer were brought back for her by a friend who knew how she loved the place.
