  <default_description> Aufstieg und Niedergang einer &quot;Grande Cocotte&quot;.&lt;BR&gt; Nana, eine h&#252;bsche Prostituierte in Paris Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts, bekommt eine Rolle als Venus in einem kleinen Variet&#233;theater, in dem sie erstmalig fast nackt, nur mit einem durchsichtigen Schleier bekleidet, auftritt.  Ein Raunen geht durch die Zuschauerreihen, und das Publikum starrt erregt auf den K&#246;rper dieser Frau, die sich aufreizend mit ihren langen, rotblonden Haaren auf der B&#252;hne bewegt. Nicht ihr Talent macht sie so anziehend, sondern ihre sinnliche Ausstrahlung, die unwiderstehlich den Trieb der M&#228;nner anspricht. Die reichen M&#228;nner, mit denen sie schl&#228;ft, beginnen ihr zu verfallen, und Nana nutzt diese Chance, um sich einen Platz in der Gesellschaft zu erobern. Ihre eigene Raffinesse und die Besessenheit der M&#228;nner verhelfen ihr zum Luxus. Leichtsinn und &#220;bermut bringen sie schlie&#223;lich zu Fall.&lt;P&gt;  Die franz&#246;sische Gesellschaft in dieser Zeit, mit ihren Schichten, und der Mensch, der seinen Trieben unterworfen ist, spiegeln sich in diesem Buch wieder. Die Not der Armen in den Gassen, und die Langeweile der Reichen in ihren Salons, zu denen Nana aufsteigt, werden gegen&#252;bergestellt. Durch diese Gegen&#252;berstellung wirft der Autor soziale Fragen auf, die auch das Thema Prostitution betreffen. Besonders faszinierte mich, wie Emile Zola es verstand, die Atmosph&#228;re im Verlauf des Romans immer dichter werden zu lassen, bis am Ende die uners&#228;ttliche Nana die M&#228;nner  ausbeutet, in den Ruin treibt und sich dabei selbst mehr und mehr verstrickt.&lt;P&gt;  Stilistisch manchmal grob, herb, dann wieder &#228;sthetisch und poetisch, unnachahmlich in seiner Plastizit&#228;t, l&#228;&#223;t der Autor je nach Erfordernis die Charaktere sprechen. Leidenschaft, die Leiden schafft! &lt;I&gt;--Claudia Berg&lt;/I&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I don't know if I gave this book a fair shake because it was so annoying I had to stop reading it after 50 pages or so.  All the women were described as &quot;sluts&quot; and &quot;whores&quot;.  All the men were drooling boors.
