Representaion Supposing Books Nana (Les Rougon-Macquart #9)

Wenn die üppige blonde Nana auf der Bühne des Pariser Varietétheaters steht, spürt jeder: sie hat keinen Funken Talent. Doch das macht nichts, denn sie hat etwas anderes ... Nana, das Kind aus der Gosse, Tochter einer Wäscherin, ausgestattet mit großen sinnlichen Reizen, steigt auf zur begehrtesten Kurtisane der Pariser Gesellschaft. Sie wird zum Idol, dem sich die Männer zu Füßen werfen. Bankiers bringen ihr ein ganzes Vermögen zum Opfer, Aristokraten ihre Würde, Jünglinge nehmen sich ihretwegen das Leben. Nana in ihrer grenzenlosen Gier und Verschwendungssucht schreitet ungerührt über sie hinweg, schön wie eine Sumpfblüte, Sinnbild einer untergehenden Ära.

Rate Containing Books Nana (Les Rougon-Macquart #9)

I must disagree with all the previous reviews. I found this book to be one of Zola's most tedious and tiresome. Of course. I am a Trollope lover, and maybe that is what accounts for my dissenting opinion. I will not go through the story. That has been told. I found the book crammed with scenes of large crowds -- at the dinners and salons, at the theatre, at the racetrack-- dozens of miscellaneous characters chattering away, frivolous conversations of meaningless nonsense. And most of these

It might be weird that I begin by the end of the story, but it was indeed what I liked the most in this novel. Well, actually, the last two chapters, for me, are just magnificent: from the literary style to the story itself. I was amazed by Zolas way to describe decadence and how this man-eater stops having just little bites and starts devouring her preys. What thrilled me the most of this book was the fact that I knew the characters were not likeable at all, which is true; that there isnt any

"Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power." (Oscar Wilde) Had Nana been a child of today, forced to grow up in the social circumstances of her parents' poverty, violence and alcoholism in the depressing Parisian Goutte d'Or, she would have been moved to a foster family, and sent to family therapy with her brothers. But Nana was born in 1851, according to the plot of L'Assommoir (The Dram Shop) which covers her mother's story. And she learned how to play the

Zolas ninth instalment in the Rougon-Macquart cycle tells the tale of steely-hearted coquette Nanapart-time actress, part-time prostitute, full-time booty-shaking Venus mantrap. The first quarter of the novel is a bacchanalian romp through the Théâtre des Variétés demimonde, introducing Nanas rolling revue of sexual partners and sugar daddies. After her semi-nude debut (where she shows off her corncrake singing voice), she has all Pariss men drooling at her calves. First she settles down with

Once upon a time, at the age of 13, I stumbled upon this book in the basement. The edition my mom owned had Nana scantily clad on the cover, in a white negligee if I recall correctly. And I thought, "aha! A scandalous book not for children! I'm gonna read it!" Well you got me good, Zola (and also my mom who had planted it as a trap). That scantily clad lady got me to read actual literature. And I loved it.

Now I have listened to 5 hours, and do not like this at all. I have decided to dump it. I find the book boring and the characters unintelligent, with despicable behavior. I don't feel pity or empathy for any of them. Couldn't Zola have thrown in some humor? OK, Zola was a naturalist, but is it realistic to collect together such a bunch of loosers? Are people really this bad? And I am sick to death of the soirées, one after another filled with empty talk and drunkenness. Those at the soirées are

I couldn't help but laugh. It just seems funny and crazy in a lampooning way. It's full of sex and the stupidity of people. The more it went on, the more I hoped that the vapid and well-meaning but fiscally and sexually voracious prostitute Nana of the title would screw everyone over, including herself. As she did, repeatedly. It's such a French romp. I mean, really. France produces 120 Days of Sodom, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, The Story of O.. and Nana. "Nana shot through like a cloud of
