or Etienne (see Zola's Germinal)... well, this is the culmination, in essay terms anyway, of my thoughts on country/city, labour/education, ploughs/internet.
I've decided to include Emile Zola's 'Germinal' for what I think is a more accurate depiction of hard physical labour. Don't get me wrong, I was enamoured with Tolstoy's description of the peasants, but 'Germinal' really brought the crushing realities of working with your hands home.
I will post my essay up on here shortly - maybe a struggling student will find it (and feel very free to use it! I understand your pain)
Peace out,
