#Meyhane is a naturalist masterpiece that examines the slums of Paris through poverty and struggle for survival, alcoholism and misery. #Emilezola's simple handling of the difficult life of workers and laborers received a lot of criticism at the time, but
The author defended himself against critics with the following words.
"I wrote the facts; The heroes of the novel were not bad people, they were just uneducated people and worn out by the environment they lived in.
In this work; It deals with topics such as the inevitable decline of a working-class family, the disintegration of family ties as a result of alcohol and idleness, the dirt caused by living too closely together, the loss of the sense of honesty, the shame and death that arise as a result of gradually forgetting the feelings of honor. I think it is an instructive classic and I say you should definitely read it.
I wish you a peaceful Sunday ☺
