Nana (Version 2), Book Nine of Rougon-Macquart Cycle
She arrives on the stage of a Parisian theater in 1867, a young woman of stunning beauty and absolutely no conscience. Anna Coupeau, called Nana, becomes the most coveted woman in the city, then its most feared. Men fall before her like dominoes: bankers, aristocrats, soldiers, each one convinced he will be the exception. But Nana takes what she wants and leaves ruin in her wake. Zola's ninth Rougon-Macquart novel is a pitiless anatomy of desire and the Second Empire's rotting underside. Nana is both a weapon and a product of the society that both worships and destroys women who dare to monetize their power. A naturalistic tour de force that reads like an autopsy report on a civilization already decaying from within.
