Excerpt from Les Retours; Les Haleurs; Le Soldat
Parfois un d'eux jette sa charge, et, droit comme un pieu, se laisse couler dans le canal. Puis il fait *la plan che, les bras en croix, poussant de temps à autre un grogn'ement de plaisir. Et les autres lui jettent, au pas sage, un regard de convoitise.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a series of vignettes illustrating the lives of 19th-century coal miners and haulers in France, examines the grueling realities of men who labored in oppressive factories and hauled barges along frigid, canal waters. The author demonstrates how miners and their families suffered under hazardous work conditions. The narrative follows the protagonist through various stark encounters: camaraderie among laborers, the tragic death of a worker, the tense journey home with his body, and the emotional turmoil of the deceased manâs family. Despite their daily hardship, these workers demonstrate unyielding strength and search for solace in the simple, tender moments of life. The book provides a glimpse into the often-overlooked experiences of 19th-century working-class communities.
