		Nana is a novel by the French naturalist author Emile Zola.
		Nana first appears in the end of L'Assommoir ( 1877), another of Zola's Rougon-Macquart series, in which she is portrayed as the daughter of an abusive drunk; in the end, she is living in the streets and just beginning a life of prostitution.
		Becker explains: "What emerges from [Nana] is the completeness of Nana's destructive force, brought to a culmination in the thirteenth chapter by a kind of roll call of the victims of her voracity" (118).

		Nana is perhaps his most daring novel in its depiction of sexuality, yet his interest in androgyny and sex roles here is not an unusual phenomenon for the period.
		Whereas in the novel L’Assommoir, her mother Gervaise is established from the outset as a passive figure awaiting the return of her lover, Nana, on the contrary, is anxiously awaited on stage.
		Nana’s male clients face a similar fate as they are forced to await her company in various rooms of her apartment.

	Alex Richardson - Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The novel resurrects one of the common themes of the Romantic movement in literature: the tension between spiritual and physical love, a theme of such works such as "La Nouvelle Heloïse" by Rousseau, "Lelia" by George Sand, and "Volupté" by the critic and Balzac enemy Saint-Beuve.
		The novel raises the question of voice and perspective, and the prosecution finds it difficult to work out exactly 'who is speaking'; this obviously becomes problematic when trying to point the finger directly at Flaubert.
		Nana soon contracts this illness and dies shortly afterwards in the presence of all the other girls (les cocottes).

		In Balzac's novel, which extols the virtues and sacrifices of a married woman, it is used to disregard any attributable value of a courtesan, whereas in Madame Bovary, used possibly from the omniscient narrator's perspective, it is used to mock and debase Emma's ideals and luxurious excesses.
		Occurrences of déesse(s) in Nana, can be explained as Nana plays the part of the goddess Venus, but can be read also in relation to the effect that she has on men when she is on and off the stage, nude (nudité) or clothed (tunique).

		Nana´s figure manifested contemporary conceptions of the corrupting influence of the female body and that fact certainly explained the furore she provoked.
		According to Robert Niess, the typical woman in the works of Zola is in fact a woman of boldness and patience, an ideal woman or a perfect mother, who is finally captured by the atavistic instincts and the curse of heredity, and despite her goodness, tragically thrown into depths of decline.
		In the Darwinian struggle that dominates society in Zola´s novel, la Maheude belongs to the strong ones, and she is one of the rare survivors of her family, whereas Canth´s Mari doesn´t bear the growth of misery, but descends into animal insanity and is committed into asylum.

		Nana is a completely stupid and horrible 18-year old girl who can't do anything else than prostitute herself and destroy others lives and who (God thank you) dies like all her family in the other books.
		We only know (from chapter II) that both of Nana's parents are already dead and all throughout the novel Nana does not get in any contact with her three half-brothers.
		"Nana" (especially chapter XIV) serves as a great prelude to the novel "la Debacle/the Downfall", though the two are completely different from one another in theme and the former was published in 1880 and is #9 in the R.-M. cycle, whereas the latter was published in 1892 and is #19 in the R.-M. cycle.

		Nana is a product of the Parisian underclass, and this is the story of her rise from the gutter, how she uses her body to capture the attentions of wealthy, foolish middle-aged men, and how she brings down destruction on all those she entraps and manipulates.
		Zola's descriptions of the sleazy Paris theatre house where Nana is first discovered - he always meticulously researched his subjects - are totally convincing and evocative of the era and location.
		Nana rises and falls, and rises again, she is an embodiment, a symbol of all that Zola found rotten and corrupt in the politics and society of his day.

	Émile Zola: Nana
		Nana herself, who was a child character in L'Assommoir, has nothing going for her except beauty; she is stupid, vulgar, greedy, vain and capricious, a product of the worst slums of the city.
		In the meantime, they are oblivious to the suffering they cause and to the mental and physical consequences of their actions, not to mention the degrading nature of the pleasures they seek.
		Zola's writing was extremely shocking in its day, with its strong emphasis on the unpleasant and unglamourous side of life; parts of Nana are still not an enjoyable read and it is unrelentingly bleak.
