Salome-Sappho-Thais-the one glamorous figure at the head of the scarlet list is Emile Zola's magnificent creation, the immortal Nana! Rich men left their fortunes, their titles, their very honor at her feet-poor men left their love and even their lives. A whole world of shameless luxury surrounded her voluptuous person-she squandered fortunes, ruined lives with sublime contempt and abandon-yet her last disease-ridden days were spent amidst squalor and oblivion in striking contrast to the careless splendor in which she once flaunted her reign over Parisian society. No one who saw the matchless screen portrayal of Emile Zola by Mr. Paul Muni should miss reading this masterpiece of the greatest French realist of modern times. This Pocket BOOK edition is complete, unexpurgated, translated from the original French. inventory #30837.
