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

Product Information

Csatlakozom a többséghez a négy csillagommal, noha elviekben ennél kevesebbet adnék. De egyrészről olyan időszakban – nagy sietve „kényszerítve” – olvastam, amikor szívem szerint nem olvastam volna ilyen nagyobb lélegzetű, klasszikust, másrészt elég sokszor untam a történetet (ráadásként a szereplők se igazán fogják meg az embert). Count Muffat de Beuville An important member of the French government who has always been a very pious Catholic until he becomes infatuated with Nana. Most of the Rougon-Macquart novels were written during the French Third Republic. To an extent, attitudes and value judgments may have been superimposed on that picture with the wisdom of hindsight. Some critics classify Zola's work, and naturalism more broadly, as a particular strain of decadent literature, which emphasized the fallen, corrupted state of modern civilization. [46] Nowhere is the doom-laden image of the Second Empire so clearly seen as in Nana, which culminates in echoes of the Franco-Prussian War (and hence by implication of the French defeat). [47] Even in novels dealing with earlier periods of Napoleon III's reign the picture of the Second Empire is sometimes overlaid with the imagery of catastrophe.

Richard Langham Smith (2001). "Zola, Emile". Grove Music Online (8thed.). Oxford University Press. ISBN 978-1-56159-263-0. Born to drunken parents in the slums of Paris, Nana lives in squalor until she is discovered at the Théâtre des Variétés. She soon rises from the streets to set the city alight as the most famous high-class prostitute of her day. Rich men, Comtes and Marquises fall at her feet, great ladies try to emulate her appearance, lovers even kill themselves for her. Nana's hedonistic appetite for luxury and decadent pleasures knows no bounds - until, eventually, it consumes her. Nana provoked outrage on its publication in 1880, with its heroine damned as 'the most crude and bestial sort of whore', yes the language of the novel makes Nana almost a mythical figure: a destructive force preying on a corrupt society.

Na és Nana…..tipikus negatív hős, aki mindent megrohaszt,eltör, tönkretesz.. legyen az élet, vagy tárgy, Nana hatására minden elromlik…. Viszont úgy tudom, hogy Zolának ez nem önálló könyve, hanem a Rougon-Macquart család regényciklusának 9. darabja. A sorban Nana előtt van még 8 kötet, amiket még nem ismerek, emiatt nem húznám le Nana karakterét. Az biztos, hogy barátnőmnek nem választanám, mert túl egoista. Charles Antoine Zola ( / ˈ z oʊ l ə/, [1] [2] also US: / z oʊ ˈ l ɑː/, [3] [4] French: [emil zɔla]; 2 April 1840–29 September 1902) [5] 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. [6] 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 Prize in Literature in 1901 and 1902. [7] [8] Early life [ edit ]

Zola is known to have been an inspiration to Christopher Hitchens as found in his book Letters to a Young Contrarian (2001). [58] In the preface to the first novel of the series, Zola states, "I want to explain how a family, a small group of regular people, behaves in society, while expanding through the birth of ten, twenty individuals, who seem at first glance profoundly dissimilar, but who are shown through analysis to be intimately linked to one another. Heredity has its own laws, just like gravity. I will attempt to find and to follow, by resolving the double question of temperaments and environments, the thread that leads mathematically from one man to another." [19]

Bízom én ebben a Zolában, olyan érdekeseket mutatott már nekem, úgyhogy amikor most kézenfogott, hogy gyere, elviszlek egy jó buliba, megmutatom neked a Nanát, akkor hittem neki, és mentem vele. Végülis a Nana az egyik leghíresebb, nyilván jó lesz. Aztán odaértünk egy hatalmas partiba, rengeteg ember, és akkor elengedte a kezem és lelépett bulizni, engem meg otthagyott egy csomó vadidegen között. És ezek az idegenek egyáltalán nem törődtek velem, meg sem próbáltak bemutatkozni vagy valami, csak pletykálkodtak tovább egy másik nagy rakás vadidegenről, meg folytatták az orgiát. Ami egyrészt rosszul esik az embernek, mert hát ki szereti, ha kiközösítik, és elbeszélnek a feje fölött, másrészt viszont igazán egy szavam se lehet, mert ezek azok a fajta emberek, akiket amúgy is nagy ívben elkerülök. Szóval ott volt ez a sok ember, és mire vége lett a partinak, addigra is legfeljebb ha négy nő meg három férfi nevét sikerült megjegyeznem, a többiek csak a tömeg voltak, mind egyformán erkölcstelenek, hát nem mindegy nekem, hogy melyik kikkel és milyen sorrendben feküdt le?Bernheimer, Charles (1999).

The scientist is a believer in some measure of scientific determinism – not that this, despite his own words "devoid of free will" (" dépourvus de libre arbitre"), [55] need always amount to a philosophical denial of free will. The creator of " la littérature putride", a term of abuse invented by an early critic of Thérèse Raquin (a novel which predates Les Rougon-Macquart series), emphasizes the squalid aspects of the human environment and upon the seamy side of human nature.

Nobu Press. In French the title was La fille de Nana, réponse au roman naturaliste de Zola or La Fille de Nana, roman de moeurs Parisiennes. Sirven and Leverdier co-authored several works. One was a reply to Dumas. Another, Le Jesuite rouge, contended that the Jesuits organized the Paris Commune to create Jewish martyrs and thereby sympathy for the Jews in France. 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."
