Nana CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 21/10/2017 - 464 من الصفحات Emile Zola explicitly set out to write a chronicle of the sexual excesses to be found in Parisian society during the Second Empire. These excesses are personified by Nana, a courtesan so irresistible that she financially ruins all her lovers.Nana is an actress with little talent but such self-possession and unrelenting carnality that men will endure almost anything for her favors. She's also sweet and simple, immature and sentimental, a child of the slums who rises to the top of Paris' corrupted social hierarchy, then falls, reaping the wages of her sins. |
