The Ladies' Paradise by Mile Zola
Recounts the frenzied transformations that made late nineteenth-century Paris the fashion capital of the world. This novel includes a capitalist hero, Octave Mouret, who creates a giant department store that devours the dusty, outmoded boutiques surrounding it.
Emile Zola is the ever-popular author of Nana, Germinal, and many other novels. The Ladies' Paradise is the eleventh book in his Rougon-Macquart series, the "Natural and Social History of a Family under the Second Empire." Kristin Ross is Associate Professor of French Literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
