Nana (Oxford World's Classics) - Emile Zola
Oxford University Press, USA | Reissue edition | September 28 2009 | English | ISBN-10: 0199538697 | epub | 1.5 Mb

Nana opens in 1867, the year of the World Fair, when Paris, thronged by a cosmopolitan elite, was a perfect target for Zola's scathing denunciation of hypocrisy and fin-de-siècle moral corruption. In this new translation, the fate of Nana–the Helen of Troy of the second Empire, and daughter of the laundress in L'Assommoir–is now rendered in racy, stylish English.
