By Émile Zola
This book took a long time to read, even if I did read other books at the same time. Some chapters just went on and on, and were not easily flowing. Anyway, each chapter presents a period in the life of Nana, an actress/celebrity/prostitute in Paris of the 1860s/1870s, from the times she first revealed to society until her untimely death. Through her we also get a good critical look at the society that embraces/makes fun of/objects to her. [386 pp., including notes, not including introduction.]
