Description
Almighty! ... Incomparable ... Straight out of Babylon!'
Boulevard society is presented with painstaking attention to detail, and Zola's documentation of the contemporary theatrical scene comes directly from his own experience - it was his own failure as a playwright which sent him back to novel-writing and Nana itself.
This new translation is an accurate and stylish rendering of Zola's original, which was first published in 1880.

Review quote
Joy Newton, University of Glasgow, French Studies, Vol. 47, Part 3 'Three Classic tales of sexual passion, perversion, and corruption have been added to the rapidly increasing World's Classics collection, whose repertoire of nineteenth-century French novels is now impressive. The price and format of these volumes make them an obvious choice for the reader approaching them in translation, the more so since each is accompanied by a helpful general introduction ... the reader is likely to get better vaqlue here than from other
translation currently in print.'
Timothy Unwin, University of Western Australia, MLR, 89./2, 1994
