Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. May, Stacey - Cover Design (illustrator). First Printing. 458 Pages Plus Five-Page listing Fiction and Literature in the The Barnes & Noble Library of Essential Reading. A clean book with no defects and probably never read. Interior text pages are flawless. This book catapults the reader into the present-day world of consumer culture and marketing. It seems as if the store owners of today's Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus all read The Ladies' Paradise and made it their bible for creating desire for consumer goods. Emile Zola documents how the first department stores in nineteenth-century Paris made shopping into a religion, while he simultaneously woos readers with his gripping love story between the enterprising store owner Octave Mourer and the rags-to-riches heroine Denise Baudu. Emile Zola, born in Paris in 1840, was raised in Aix en Provence in conditions of extreme poverty following the death of his hither in 1847. In 1865, he decided to support himself by writing alone. The Ladies' Paradise is the eleventh novel in a series of twenty novels under the generic title The Rougon-Macquarts: the Natural and Social History of a Family Under the Second Empire. In this series, published between 1871 and 1893, Zola scientifically documents the effects of heredity and environment on the Rougon-Marquart family. Contemporary interest in cultural studies and consumer culture has sparked a renewed interest in Zola's work and in particular The Ladies' Paradise. Our current endless appetite for reality television shows parallels Zola's efforts in the latter part of nineteenth century to document reality and to make the everyday world an apt subject for the novel. While in The Ladies' Paradise Zola documents social realism, he also creates a prose poem to the modernist city in all of its bustle and splendor. And at the center of this vast city is the department store, which encapsulates the wonders and desires afforded by commerce.
