Colette Becker, specialiste d'Emile Zola, a enseigne a l'universite Paris - Nanterre. Elle est l'auteur d'etudes sur le naturalisme, d'editions des oeuvres de Zola et de leurs dossiers preparatoires. Elle a notamment publie Les Apprentissages de Zola, du poete romantique au romancier naturaliste (Paris, 1993), Zola. Le saut dans les etoiles (Paris, 2002) et codirige le Dictionnaire des naturalismes (Paris, 2017).
Germinal, l'oeuvre la plus célèbre d'Émile Zola, est le deuxième roman ouvrier de la série des Rougon-Macquart. Comme L'Assommoir, il peint la condition ouvrière. Il est aussi le roman du conflit social, de la lutte des classes. Tableau de la vie matérielle des mineurs du Nord de la France dans le décor noir d'un coron, Germinal est le récit d'une grève réprimée, le drame d'une classe qui veut sortir de sa condition de brute. Mais le conflit apparaît sous l'angle d'une violence destructrice, d'un danger révolutionnaire ébranlant dangereusement la société tout entière. L'espoir en l'avenir ne se fait jour qu'au final et dans le titre, « coup de soleil qui éclaire toute l'oeuvre », selon Zola lui-même.
