Nana

Серия:

✅ Nana opens in 1867, the year of the World Fair, when Paris, thronged by a cosmopolitan elite, was la Ville Lumiere, a perfect victim for Zolas scathing denunciation of hypocrisy and fin-de-siecle moral corruption. The fate of Nana, the Helen of Troy of the Second Empire, and daughter of the laundress in LAssommoir, reduced Flaubert to almost inarticulate gasps of admiration: Chapter 14, unsurpassable!...Yes!...Christ Almighty!...Incomparable...Straight out of Babylon! Boulevard society is presented with painstaking attention to detail, and Zolas documentation of the contemporary theatrical scene comes directly from his own experience - it was his own failure as a playwright which sent him back to novel-writing and Nana itself. This new translation is an accurate and stylish rendering of Zolas original, which was first published in 1880.
