About Nana
Nana was first published in 1880 and is the ninth novel in Zola’s influential Les Rougon-Macquart cycle. It was hugely popular with readers, but also met with harsh criticism as some of its scenes were deemed immoral.
Nana, the novel’s eponymous heroine, is the daughter of Gervaise Macquart, the main character of Zola’s earlier novel L’Assommoir. The charm and sensuality of this working-class woman win her a legion of admirers from the upper echelons of Parisian society, but she causes the downfall of everyone who gets involved with her and ultimately endures a tragic decline.
About Émile Zola
The novelist and journalist Émile Zola was one of the most celebrated writers of 19th century France. He was the leading figure of the literary school of naturalism, which drew on the scientific advances of the time and sought to explain human behaviour through meticulous observation. He is best known for Les Rougon-Macquart, an ambitious cycle of 20 novels which tells the story of one extended family under the Second French Empire and which illustrates his approach to literature.
Zola was also an influential social thinker: he vocally condemned the Dreyfus affair, and his famous article J’accuse played a major role in the eventual exoneration of the Jewish officer Alfred Dreyfus.This practical and insightful reading guide offers a complete summary and analysis of Nana by Émile Zola.
