Helt underbar! Fast underbar kanske egentligen r fel ord. Den skildrar den mnskliga naturen i nrmaste detalj. Zola utelmnar ingenting. Man finns med p plats nr arbetarna hackar i kolet, kryper i de smala gruvgngarna och nr ogifta par kopulerar i ngen. Det mest plgsamma att mta r den extrema fattigdomen. Fattigdomen och hungern, den mrka ptryckande krampaktiga hungern, dr bde kropp och sjl sakta men ytterst skert ddar mnniskan. Nr barnen plockar maskrosblad till salladen, och nr gruvarbetarna fr tugga p sina egna klder fr att lura hungern ? d vill man bara grta. Fast ens eget liv knns ju aldrig s fantastiskt sknt, som nr man mter 1880 ? talets realism.
