The Goncourt brothers are one of the founders of naturalism in French literature, and Germini Laserte is perhaps their most ambiguous thing.
This is the story of the fall of the servant Germini - described from sad youth to no less sad death, the story is hopeless, musty, imbued with dirty physiology. Almost along with Germini, there is another main character - perhaps the only positive in this story - Mademoiselle de Varandeil, mistress of Germini, in her image embedded all the ideas of the Goncourt brothers about the virtues and righteous way of life.
The Goncourt brothers managed to dissect the life of the lower class in nineteenth-century France so well that descriptions of dirt, immorality, and debauchery made them physically nauseous.
