description
One of the founders of literary naturalism, Émile Zola thought of his novels as a form of scientific research into the effects of heredity and environment. He created characters, gave them richly detailed histories, and placed them in carefully observed, precisely described environments, and his readers watch as they wriggle and thrash toward their inevitable destinies.In \*Nana\*, the characters are a prostitute, who rises from the streets to become what Zola calls a “high-class cocotte,” and the men—and women—whom she loves, betrays, and destroys. Among the novel’s many ironies is the mutual envy felt by Nana and those around her. She yearns for their material possessions, while they admire her apparent independence and sexual self-confidence. And despite the chaos Nana causes, Zola imagines her as being essentially “good-natured,” a stupid, vain, but beautiful creature who can’t help drawing people into her web.Not surprisingly, Nana’s portrait of a decadent world in which a prostitute amasses great wealth and power provoked protests from “polite society,” and it became one of Zola’s most controversial works. Today it is regarded as his masterpiece.

Alternative description
Overview: Prompted by his theories of heredity and environment, Zola set out to show Nana, "the golden fly", rising out of the underworld to feed on society--a predetermined product of her origins. Nana's latent destructiveness is mirrored in the Empire's, and they reflect each others' disintegration and final collapse in 1890. Built around the book's scientific skeleton is a powerful, sensual atmosphere and a rich use of words which elevate the novel beyond the realistic platform into a "poem of male desires." Part of Zola's famed Rougon-Macquart series of novels, this is the portrait of the scandal of Parisian society--Nana, a goddess of love who ruthlessly uses her sexuality to obtain wealth and to send her ruined lovers to the gutter from which she ascended. A tragic heroine ranking with Anna Karenina and Emma Bovary. Originally published in 1880, this is a new edition.

Wenn die ppige blonde Nana auf der Bhne des Pariser Variettheaters steht, sprt jeder: sie hat keinen Funken Talent. Doch das macht nichts, denn sie hat etwas anderes ... Nana, das Kind aus der Gosse, Tochter einer Wscherin, ausgestattet mit groen sinnlichen Reizen, steigt auf zur begehrtesten Kurtisane der Pariser Gesellschaft. Sie wird zum Idol, dem sich die Mnner zu Fen werfen. Bankiers bringen ihr ein ganzes Vermgen zum Opfer, Aristokraten ihre Wrde, Jnglinge nehmen sich ihretwegen das Leben. Nana in ihrer grenzenlosen Gier und Verschwendungssucht schreitet ungerhrt ber sie hinweg, schn wie eine Sumpfblte, Sinnbild einer untergehenden ra.
