what works of (somewhat unknown but) good fiction do you recommend me to buy this weekend? It's a classic, but doesn't seem to be well-known amongst my Australian friends at least - Germinal, by Emile Zola. It is easily my favourite French novel. I haven't read any English versions, but apparently the major publishers publish excellent translations.
