 Moja omiljena knjiga...Mislim da je jedna od onih knjiga da covjeku ponestane daha nakon citanja...Razvija osjecaj empatije i osjecaj za pravednost!

 Le meilleur Zola. Un portrait de société à clouer le bec à tous ceux qui pensent encore que le libre marché est la solution à tous les maux.

 Zola does an amazing job of describing the arguments for a strike, and unionizing for the workers and management alike. Entertaining, lots of romance, and for that reason it was probably never mentioned to me in my youth; which is a real shame.
