In whose fictional creation did Upton Sinclair seek inspiration for his masterpiece The Jungle The following piece provides answers to this inquiry by tracing Emile Zola's presence in what may or may not be America's greatest proletarian novel, Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. Thus, a comparative study of The Jungle and Germinal becomes the lens through which the author endeavors to demonstrate that Sinclair modeled his masterpiece on Zola's novel. A close reading of these works unveils their overlapping in terms of characterization, theme and narrative. Following the introduction which presents the author's autobiographical commonalities, the first chapter investigates the works' character constructions. The second chapter is a discussion of their similar thematic issues. The final chapter deals with narrative, art and propaganda in a way that is consistent with the fundamental premise of this work. Authorial differences are also considered, but overall the main finding simply corroborates the undeniable nexus between these writers. The significance of this work lies in the extent to which it highlights some common grounds between American and French literatures.

Viana de Araujo, Izabela: Monsters and monstrosities in European Literature An analysis of Wilde and Zola, LAP LAMBERT ACADEMIC PUBLISHING, November 2010, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 3838396278
Monsters represent some of human beings' most intricate nightmares and fears, being rather recurrent figures in literature and cinema. By analyzing occurrences of monstrosity in two nineteenth-century novels, namely Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray and Emile Zola's Germinal, this book attempts to understand the significance of monstrosity within the context of each novel and to connect the presence of the monster in these works with the historical moment each society was experiencing. In order to achieve that, a theoretical discussion about the concepts of monstrosity is carried out, as well as a detailed literary analysis of each novel. As a conclusion, the comparison of the two novels points at three monstrous interpretations common to both: the monster as a transgression, as the result of a cultural crisis, and as a metaphor for evil. Finally, the presence of monstrosity in literature is explained according to the social and cultural circumstances of each country, ultimately demonstrating the global importance of literature in the understanding of culture as a whole.

Emile Zola: Germinal, OXFORD WORLD'S CLASSICS, September 2008 ISBN: 0199536899
Zola's masterpiece of working life, Germinal (1885), exposes the inhuman conditions of miners in northern France in the 1860s. By Zola's death in 1902 it had come to symbolize the call for freedom from oppression so forcefully that the crowd which gathered at his State funeral chanted Germinal! Germinal!While it is a dramatic novel of working life and everyday relationships, Germinal is also a complex novel of ideas, given fresh vigor and power in this new translation. It is also the thirteenth book in the Rougon-Macquart cycle, which celebrates its centenary in October 1993 with a new film version of Germinal starring Gerard Depardieu.
