Claudine Corbasson (This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliothèque Marguerite Durand - Ville de Paris (BMD) "Dans les Entrailles de la Terre by Séverine" is an investigative reportage written in the early 20th century. The piece examines the perilous lives of French coal miners, brought into stark focus by the catastrophic Courrières disaster, and emphasizes the daily hazards, grinding poverty, and moral urgency of reform. The narrative moves from public shock to sustained critique, setting the Courrières tragedy against a long history of “smaller” but frequent mine deaths. It vividly depicts the underground ordeal—crawling in narrow, dark galleries under constant threat of water bursts and firedamp—alongside meager wages diminished by obligatory expenses. Through poignant vignettes, it shows bereaved families, such as a widow dyeing her family’s few garments black, a young wife undone by grief, and artisanship like crucifixes carved from bone. It exposes unsafe company housing above shifting ground, while honoring miners’ courage during rescues, from refusing to butcher a dead pit horse to the loyal dog mourning its masters. The author descends into a deadly pit between explosions and visits a hospital of burned and suffocating survivors, closing with a forceful appeal for justice, lasting safety measures, and humane consideration for those who toil in the earth’s depths.
