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. Octave Mouret, the store's owner-manager, masterfully exploits the desires of his female customers. In his private life as much as in business he is the great seducer. 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.

从古至今法国小说都明里暗里包含了一个主题:乱搞。百货公司发展史中隐含的资本主义从自由贸易到垄断,下次再逛老佛爷,感觉估计也不一样了。

太喜欢了所以来读了这个英文版;不知此生有否机会读法文原版。译者Nelson的序写得非常好。 我其实并不清楚左拉真正的倾向。但如果他真的想在这本书说教些什么,我想效果会很糟糕,并不会比大多数想说教时的文学家更好。 但这就是自然主义的好处。垄断资本,以一种伪装的文化“良善资本家”的Mouret形象出现,其正如左拉文字生命力一样蓬勃高涨的性欲被Denise像童话一样驯化了——这个童话几乎是我见过写得最美... 太喜欢了所以来读了这个英文版;不知此生有否机会读法文原版。译者Nelson的序写得非常好。 我其实并不清楚左拉真正的倾向。但如果他真的想在这本书说教些什么,我想效果会很糟糕,并不会比大多数想说教时的文学家更好。 但这就是自然主义的好处。垄断资本,以一种伪装的文化“良善资本家”的Mouret形象出现,其正如左拉文字生命力一样蓬勃高涨的性欲被Denise像童话一样驯化了——这个童话几乎是我见过写得最美的一个,无论是结构还是色彩上——但patriarchal和paternal的区别究竟在哪里?我们能否从中窥见真正的feminism与communism,还是,正如译者Nelson所言,资本家和工贼结合,俯视着无产阶级们?
