«Nana» is the novel by Émile Zola published by Penguin Clásicos in paperback (484 pages, in Spanish).
In the Paris of 1867, Nana, daughter of the laundress from The Dram Shop, triumphs in a variety theater and her beauty turns her into a courtesan coveted by high society. Zola follows her rise and her devastating effect on the men around her, thereby portraying the hypocrisy and moral decadence of nineteenth-century bourgeoisie.
It is part of Les Rougon-Macquart, where it is the ninth installment. The edition includes an introduction by Henri Mitterand, an epilogue by Guy de Maupassant and a translation by José Escué.
A work suitable for readers of classic novels and nineteenth-century French fiction, as well as for those following the Rougon-Macquart cycle.
Émile Édouard Charles Antoine Zola was a French novelist, journalist, playwright, the best-known practitioner of the literary school of naturalism, and an important contributor to the development of theatrical naturalism. He was a major figure in the political liberalization of France and in the exoneration of the falsely accused and convicted army officer Alfred Dreyfus, which is encapsulated in his renowned newspaper opinion headlined J'Accuse...! Zola was nominated for the first and second Nobel Prizes in Literature in 1901 and 1902.
