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.

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.

評分太久没有看过电视剧了,昨天打开youku英剧,居然发现了这么一段深藏的记忆。 《The Paradise》,女士乐园。 17岁时偶然在国图边上的一个旧书店挑了几本书,都是2、3折的价格,其中有左拉的《女士乐园》、西沃卡的《肥皂剧、性和香烟》、林白《一个人的战争》以及若干本亨利米...
評分少年时读左拉的《妇女乐园》,被里面叹为观止的巴黎高档百货业折服,这居然是一百多年前的资本主义,看到身边才刚刚兴盛起来的社会主义的百货业,由衷的惊叹我们离世界差距有多少 守旧的老派手工业者无不愤恨大型百货零售业将他们的生存空间挤死,年轻一代却为商业的发展而欢欣...

评分naturalistic rendering of the birth of the first department store
评分作為一部錶現市場狀貌的小說,實在細緻。語言華麗而不失精妙。隻是人物塑造不夠飽滿,感情刻畫遜色於對商城的描寫。
评分The starting point of modern industrialism and entrepreneurship
