The Ladies' Paradise by Emile Zola

The Ladies' Paradise by Emile Zola

One of the most important, though controversial, French novelists of the late nineteenth century, and founder of the Realist movement, was mile Zola (1840-1902). In 1871 Zola began to his most notable series of novels, the Rougon-Macquart Novels, that relate the history of a fictional family under the Second Empire. As a strict naturalist, Zola was greatly concerned with science, especially the problems of evolution and heredity vs. environment. However, unlike Honor de Balzac, whose works examined a wider scope of society, Zola focused on the evolution of one, single family. The Ladies' Paradise is the eleventh novel in this series, and begins exactly where Pot-Bouille left off. Octave Mouret has married and now owns a department store where twenty year old Denise Baudu, who has come to Paris with her brothers, takes a job as a saleswoman. The novel reflects symbolically on capitalism, the modern city, changes in consumer culture, the bourgeois family and sexual attitudes.
