The Ladies' Paradise (Au Bonheur des Dames) recounts the spectacular development of the modern department store in late nineteenth century Paris. The store is a symbol of capitalism, of the modern city, and of the bourgeois family; it is emblematic of consumer culture and the changes in sexual attitudes and class relations taking place at the end of the century. Octave Mouret, the store's owner-manager, masterfully exploits the desires of his female customers. In his private life as much as in business he is the great seducer. But when he falls in love with the innocent Denise Baudu, he discovers she is the only one of the salesgirls who refuses to be commodified. This new translation of the eleventh book in the Rougon-Macquart cycle captures the spirit of one of Zola's greatest novels of the modern city. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

It is not a book that shocks me to the heart, but definitely a book which paints a impressionism with words. It is the first book that I have ever read by Zola. Rather than describing my feelings using the ideological words, such as capitalism or industria...

评分这是我在师范念书时候的事了。在学校那间收藏匮乏的图书馆里,我翻找到1980年版的左拉的《妇女乐园》。曾经听我最要好的闺蜜提起过它,那姑娘对它赞不绝口,我相信她的品格与趣味。当我自己将这本书拿到手时,竟怀着深厚的颤栗与期待。然后,那天晚上—— 对了,已经是10点之后...
评分 评分这是一部很出色的融行业和爱情为一体的作品,我曾经想过,故事的情节很适合拍成韩剧,当然这里的慕雷不是财阀出身,而是通过与富人结婚加上自己的才华成为巨富,而且创立一家现代的百货公司,这点倒是与《傀儡》中的伏库尔斯基几乎相同。 而在《傀儡》中出现的论述就实现了,由...
naturalistic rendering of the birth of the first department store
评分nice reading
评分这么多年还是这么喜欢这部小说~
评分从古至今法国小说都明里暗里包含了一个主题:乱搞。百货公司发展史中隐含的资本主义从自由贸易到垄断,下次再逛老佛爷,感觉估计也不一样了。
评分作为一部表现市场状貌的小说,实在细致。语言华丽而不失精妙。只是人物塑造不够饱满,感情刻画逊色于对商城的描写。
