{"product_id":"nana-emile-zola-9781420972108","title":"Nana","description":"\u003cp\u003eConsidered one of the masterpieces of world-renowned naturalist Emile Zola, \"Nana\" is his finely written work on the demimonde of France's failing Second Empire. A symbolically compounded novel, it follows the rise and fall of Nana, a street-walking prostitute who becomes an actress at the Th  tre des Vari t s. Though apparently independent and self-confident in her role of 'high-class cocette', Nana envies the material possessions of the people around her, and the series of besotted men, and occasionally women, whom she betrays and ruins are a testament to her selfishness and vanity. What is surprising is Zola's genius in creating the strength and generosity of Nana, the elemental goodness in an unintelligent woman who can't seem to prevent herself from initiating chaos. Though she advances through society, she ultimately only manages to fall from greater heights, taking on an almost mythical quality even as she remains eminently realistic. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of Burton Rascoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emile Zola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1420972103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781420972108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Digireads.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.76d","brand":"Emile Zola","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944115831039,"sku":"9781420972108","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_33c0d707-14d7-4899-94d1-5f997c90a223.jpg?v=1681501874","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nana-emile-zola-9781420972108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
