The Goncourt Brothers are among the founders of naturalism in French literature, and "Germinie Lacerteux" is perhaps their most ambiguous work.
This is the story of the fall of the servant girl Germinie – described from her sad youth to her no less sad death, a story that is hopeless, stagnant, permeated with dirty physiology. Practically alongside Germinie, there is another main character – perhaps the only positive one in this story – Mademoiselle de Varandeil, Germinie's mistress, in whose image all the ideas of the Goncourt brothers about virtues and a righteous way of life are embodied.
"To dissect the life of the lower class in 19th century France, the Goncourt brothers succeeded so well that the descriptions of filth, immorality, and debauchery become physically nauseating."
