447pages. poche. broché. Aux variétés, dans Blonde Vénus, elle n'a eu qu'à paraître en scène, Nana, dans la fraîcheur rose et ronde et provocante de ses dix-huit ans. Médiocre actrice, chanteuse sans voix, qu'importe! Le lendemain, son nom est sur toutes les lèvres. Affamée d'argent et de luxe après une enfance misérable, Nana ccmprend très vite que la galanterie est pour elle un plus sûr chemin que le théâtre. Bourgeois, banquiers, aristocrates, aucun ne lui résistera. Jusqu'au jour où, dans un élan de tendresse vraie, elle renonce à tout pour un homme, qui bientôt la traite en servante, la vole, la bat. Durement meurtrie, Nana ne s'avoue pas vaincue. Elle va repartir à la conquête de Paris, mais avec, cette fois, au coeur, une rage, un désir sans bornes d'asservir et d'avilir.

Review:
"The translation...is fluid and true to the text. The A.G. Stevens cover print is an excellent choice."--Roy Arthur Swanson, Univ. of Wisconsin
About the Author:
?mile Zola was a French writer who is recognized as an exemplar of literary naturalism and for his contributions to the development of theatrical naturalism. Zola s best-known literary works include the twenty-volume Les Rougon-Macquart, an epic work that examined the influences of violence, alcohol and prostitution on French society through the experiences of two families, the Rougons and the Macquarts. Other remarkable works by Zola include Contes ? Ninon, Les Myst?res de Marseille, and Th?r?se Raquin.
In addition to his literary contributions, Zola played a key role in the Dreyfus Affair of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. His newspaper article J Accuse accused the highest levels of the French military and government of obstruction of justice and anti-semitism, for which he was convicted of libel in 1898. After a brief period of exile in England, Zola returned to France where he died in 1902. ?mile Zola is buried in the Panth?on alongside other esteemed literary figures Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas.
