| Emile Zola - Nana |
| One part of Zola’s huge project of over 20 novels about the same family. This novel about Nana, ‘the golden fly’, projects his theories about heredity and environment. She rises out of the underworld to feed on society, a pre-determined product of her origins.
A scrupulous researcher, Zola walks us through the exact atmosphere of music hall and demi-monde. Smell the grease-paint, the sensual atmosphere and the corruption.
Eating men’s fortunes like air, Nana is the femme fatale! Her progress of destruction and self-destruction exactly mirrors the total collapse of the Second French Empire in 1870. A scientific social analysis in the form of a ‘poem of male desire’.
