| Summary | "Kivihiilenkaivajat" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story explores the harsh realities of coal mining through the eyes of a struggling protagonist and the collective struggles of miners in a small industrial town. The main character, Étienne Lantier, is a desperate young man seeking employment and a semblance of stability amidst dire circumstances. The opening of the novel introduces Étienne as he journeys through a dark, cold night towards the Montsou coal mine. He struggles with the biting wind and his own unemployment, filled with a mix of hope and despair. Upon reaching the mine, he encounters a few seasoned workers who share their grim experiences, emphasizing the lack of jobs and their hardships in a slowly collapsing industry. This initial encounter sets the tone for the novel, highlighting the oppressive conditions of the working class and the dire need for change, while also foreshadowing Étienne's future involvement with the mining community and their struggle for better living conditions.
