Nana, A NOVEL By: Zola Emile (World's Classics)

Product Information

Nana opens with a night at the Théâtre des Variétés in April 1867 just after the Exposition Universelle has opened. Nana is 18 years old, but she would have been 15 according to the family tree of the Rougon-Macquarts Zola had published years before starting work on this novel. Zola describes in detail the performance of La blonde Vénus, a fictional operetta modeled after Offenbach's La belle Hélène, in which Nana is cast as the lead. All of Paris is talking about her, but this is her first stage appearance. When asked to say something about her talents, Bordenave, the manager of the theatre, explains that a star does not need to know how to sing or act: "Nana has something else, dammit, and something that takes the place of everything else. I scented it out, and it smells damnably strong in her, or else I lost my sense of smell." Just as the crowd is about to dismiss her performance as terrible, young Georges Hugon shouts: "Très chic!" From then on, she owns the audience. Zola describes her appearance only thinly veiled in the third act: "All of a sudden, in the good-natured child the woman stood revealed, a disturbing woman with all the impulsive madness of her sex, opening the gates of the unknown world of desire. Nana was still smiling, but with the deadly smile of a man-eater." Borie, Jean (1971). Zola et les mythes: ou, de la nausée au salut. Pierres vives (in French). Paris: Éditions du Seuil. OCLC 299742040. From 1877, with the publication of L'Assommoir, Émile Zola became wealthy; he was better paid than Victor Hugo, for example. [20] Because L'Assommoir was such a success, Zola was able to renegotiate his contract with his publisher Georges Charpentier to receive more than 14% royalties and the exclusive rights to serial publication in the press. [21] Subsequently, sales of L'Assommoir were even exceeded by those of Nana (1880) and La Débâcle (1892). [9] He became a figurehead among the literary bourgeoisie and organised cultural dinners with Guy de Maupassant, Joris-Karl Huysmans, and other writers at his luxurious villa (worth 300,000 francs) [22] in Médan, near Paris, after 1880. Despite being nominated several times, Zola was never elected to the Académie française. [9]

As he described his plans for the series, "I want to portray, at the outset of a century of liberty and truth, a family that cannot restrain itself in its rush to possess all the good things that progress is making available and is derailed by its own momentum, the fatal convulsions that accompany the birth of a new world."

Nana kuin muidenkin Zolan kirjojen katsotaan olevan malliesimerkki naturalisistisesta tyylisuuntauksesta. Szerelmes vagyok Párizsba és abba a pikáns, kicsit buja világba amit a XIX. században (vagy korábban) játszódó francia irodalom egy része képvisel. A legjobb Dumas-i hagyomán jött szembe. Tátott szájjal olvastam végig Nana történetét és gyorsan fel is raktam a sorozat többi részét a képzeletbeli várólistámra, nem hiszem hogy egyfolytában menne mind a 20 kötet, de egyszer részenként belevágok. Zola most olyat adott amire nagyon régen vágytam, a selyem susogását hallottam a fejemben, az ékszerek ragyogásától káprázott a szemem, pálcát törni pedig nem vagyok hajlandó senki felett, hiszen Nana tisztán játszott, egy másodpercig sem titkolta sem a múltját, sem a hivatását, aki pedig nem erre számított az csak szamárnak tekinthető.Kirjan päähenkilö Anna "Nana" Coupeau on pääesiintyjä ranskalaisen Variétés-teatterin uudessa näytelmässä ”Vaalea Venus”. Nana ei osaa laulaa eikä tanssia, mutta hurmaa ensi-illassa Pariisin eliitin kauneudellaan. Nana on samanaikaisesti sekä näyttelijätär, että kurtisaani, yönsä hän viettää eri miesten kanssa. Nanan kamarineiti Zoé hoitaa hänen kotiaan, ottaa vastaan vieraita ja avustaa Nanaa esimerkiksi pukeutumisessa. Richard Langham Smith (2001). "Zola, Emile". Grove Music Online (8thed.).

The following week, at a party given by the Count Muffat, the discussion between the men concerns a party that Nana is giving after her performance. She has told Fauchery to invite the count to the party, but most of the men think that he will not accept. At the party, more people come than Nana had expected; but the count does not come. At the end of the party, Nana decides it is time to look after her own interest and lets Steiner know that she will accept him as a lover. Nana, 1-3.; sajtó alá rend., bev.

Csillay Kálmán; Gutenberg, Bp., 1929 ( A Gutenberg Könyvkiadó Vállalat könyvei) The end of this chapter parallels the ending of the preceding chapter in that earlier Nana had impetuously thrown Muffat and Steiner out of her apartment, and she now finds herself thrown out of her apartment because Fontan is sleeping with another actress. This final act against Nana causes her to throw herself into the arms of Satin. Nana then experiences her first lesbian relationship.Nana si první popularitu získává v divadle. Nehraje sice dobře, ale je krásná. Díky tomu si podmaní významné muže Paříže. Věrnou společnicí je hlavní hrdince komorná Zoe, která je schopna všechny její mužské návštěvy po domě rozmístit tak, aby se nepotkávaly. Později se Nana stane symbolem zla, přičemž vše, s čím má co do činění, je nakonec zničeno. Na své milence klade stále nové požadavky, takzvaně je „vycucává“, až jsou mnohdy dohnáni na samé dno. Z dřívějšího vztahu se kurtizáně narodil syn Ludvíček, ten však později umírá na neštovice. Poté, co se Nana dozví, že zemřel i jeden z jejích milenců, prodává svůj majetek v dražbě a odjíždí z Paříže, kde na ni po nějakém čase všichni zapomínají. Nana se však vrací zpět a zde také podlehne neštovicím. Anonym. "Church opponent of Italian descent ..

Captain Alfred Dreyfus was a French-Jewish artillery officer in the French army. In September 1894, French intelligence discovered someone had been passing military secrets to the German Embassy. Senior officers began to suspect Dreyfus, though there was no direct evidence of any wrongdoing. Dreyfus was court-martialed, convicted of treason, and sent to Devil's Island in French Guiana.
