Introduzione di Mario LunettaTraduzione riveduta e aggiornata di Ferdinando MartiniEdizione integraleUn romanzo che esplora lucidamente luniverso femminile, un testo che d la misura del talento rappresentativo e dellacutezza dello sguardo sociale del grande narratore francese. La vicenda della giovane provinciale Denise che, approdata timidamente a Parigi, riesce a evitarne le insidie e a domarne i mostri solo in virt della sua integrit e della sua dolcezza, non ha nulla di edulcorato n di consolatorio: invece, per energia di scrittura e profondit di analisi, il diagramma di un destino femminile che si realizza nel quadro di una societ opulenta e spietata mantenendo intatti la sua dignit e il suo spessore.mile Zolanato a Parigi nel 1840, uno dei massimi scrittori europei dellOttocento. Fin da giovane pot lavorare nel campo delleditoria e nel 1864 pubblic il suo primo libro, Contes Ninon. Da allora continu a scrivere senza soste fino allamorte, causata dalle esalazioni di una stufa nella sua casa di Parigi nel 1902, mentre stava lavorando; le modalit della sua fine fecero nascere il sospetto che fosse stato assassinato. molto noto il suo Jaccuse, il pamphlet con cui lo scrittore denuncia al Presidente della Repubblica francese tutte le irregolarit e le ingiustizie commesse durante il processo al capitano ebreo Alfred Dreyfus, e a causa del quale Zola fu costretto a fuggire per un periodo in Inghilterra. La Newton Compton ha pubblicato Al Paradiso delle Signore, La bestia umana, Germinal, Nana, Thrse Raquin e il volume I grandi romanzi.

COMMERCE! The “big-box-storification” of late 19th cent Paris. Local merchants contending w/ threat of the first department stores. So cinematic: the streets, shelves, rush of goods & sales, fabrics & commissions, the push to profit & expansion. Retail management & customer flow. Footnotes explaining away casual stereotypes of Jews & women=wince. Lush language, melodrama. Retail jobs were tough & gossipy w/ harassers aplenty, even back then. 1883

4⭐️ Zola wrote such an amazing story about the lives inside and surrounding a massive department store in late 19th century Paris. The giant killed all the small businesses with its economies of scale and price wars. It‘s ironic that department stores are now killed by online stores. Jeff Bezos IS the Octave Mouret of the modern era 🙈, capitalizing on the consumer behaviour that has not changed since

The location of The Ladies‘ Paradise in Paris 😻 I want to visit Paris and check out all the locations in the series. Hopefully, we can travel soon 🤞🏻

BarbaraBB I do that to. It‘s kind of therapeutic and soothing while we cannot travel. 4y
Hooked_on_books I love looking up locations of things in the books I read. Looks like I‘m not the only one! 4y
sisilia @BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books I love how the stories transported me to another world 🤗 4y

#augustisatrip #day7 - #paris

Was assigned this reading prior to my May-mester trip to Paris back in college. Loved what I read enough to recommend the book to others, though I never actually finished it myself. Also got to go to the actual store from the book!

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks That‘s cool!! I hope to go to Paris one day! 6y

Let's see if I can keep awake. Pens in Colorado. Zola is really good. #readingandlisteningtohockey

writerlibrarian First period is on. Colorado opens the score. 1-0. Pens tie the game and are going on PP. Barrie scores on PP and Colorado is ahead by 1. 2-1 Avs. 3-1 Avs with a late goal in the 2nd period. I'm passed 75% of Zola's novel. 3rd period is on and Geno reduces the Avs lead by 1. (edited) 7y

Sens and Habs are playing outside in Ottawa in very, very cold weather. It's cold here too. Winter has taken hold now. #readingandwatchinghockey welcome back Litsy you were missed 💕💕💕

Melissa_J I would not want to be in the stands watching that game! It‘s much more comfortable watching in the comfort of my own home 😊 7y
writerlibrarian @Melissa_J It looks frigidly cold. Nope me neither would not be out there. 7y
writerlibrarian It's -18 celsius. That is like a bit cold. I understand Karlsson wanting to be on the ice as much as possible and not on the bench. No goal after one period. 2nd period is on. Sens are on PP. Sens score first. 3rd on. (edited) 7y
rabbitprincess Minus 18! Brrrr! I was out a couple of hours ago to get supper and at that time the car thermometer said it was "only" minus 10 ?❄️ 7y
writerlibrarian Pens are about to get on the ice in Arizona. Puck drop. Pens on PP. No goal after one. 2nd period on. Pens on PP. No goal but they get another on back to back. (edited) 7y

Monday's hockey is Crosby vs MacKinnon. So far it's lively. #readingandwatchinghockey

I will #sharealazyhour today with the next book in my #litsyatoz challenge. Emile Zola had very few lazy hours. #survivingdecember

Lcsmcat Are you reading it in French or in translation? 7y
writerlibrarian @Lcsmcat in french. I read in both French and English. One of the perks of being french canadian. 👊🏻 7y
Lcsmcat I‘m setting myself a goal of reading more in French for 2018 and am trying to set up some buddy reads. Are you interested in joining us? 7y
writerlibrarian @Lcsmcat I usually read in the original edition if it's in English and in French for the rest. I've not done a lot of buddy read but I would be willing to try. (edited) 7y
LeeRHarry I really like this one 😊 and now need to get to Therese Raquin on my TBR 7y

#howyouread from yesterday. Usually I read in bed with my cat by my side. I also read on the couch or at my kitchen table. I almost always read physical copies, with the occasional audio book #riotgrams

A complex drama that embraces a wonderful historical depiction of retail stores back in the day (I.e. Imagine an early Macy's) with a touch of mystery, murder, innocence, addictive romance, and unforgettable twists that leave you guessing until the end! A fantastic #GoodRead.

Plus, the BBC trilogy was just as enticing by bringing this great story to life! 😎👍🏻
