Beschrijving:
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 Zola’s 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 L’Assommoir, 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 Zola’s 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 Zola’s original, which was first published in 1880.
