Nana, Paperback

Featuring one of the most unconventional and controversial heroines of all time, Nana follows the life of a girl as she rises from the squalor of the Paris streets to become the star of the acclaimed Théâtre des Variétés.

She quickly gains fame and a host of male admirers. But as Nana plays with her companions' emotions, leading them to ruin, misfortune, and even suicide, she risks destroying herself in the process.

Considered outrageous when it was first published in 1880, Nana is a powerful exposé of the hypocrisy of French society and the tragedy of a world where selfishness rules supreme.
