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.

這本書其實是經營婦女消費品從簡單實用到豪華糜菲發展的一個縮影,從小店麵普通商人的生活一直描寫到大百貨公司老闆的發傢史。客觀上真實描寫瞭人類愛、恨、貪婪的欲望。竊以為BOSS每天關門結業時在辦公室裏數錢的形象最為活生生。
評分這是我在師範念書時候的事瞭。在學校那間收藏匱乏的圖書館裏,我翻找到1980年版的左拉的《婦女樂園》。曾經聽我最要好的閨蜜提起過它,那姑娘對它贊不絕口,我相信她的品格與趣味。當我自己將這本書拿到手時,竟懷著深厚的顫栗與期待。然後,那天晚上—— 對瞭,已經是10點之後...
評分就是從這本書開始認識左拉,喜歡左拉的,書中的人物都很真實動人,對於資本主義商業從自由競爭發展到壟斷的過程的描寫,非常的易於接受,遠不想沒讀之前想象的那樣艱澀、乏味,是你想讀第二遍的書。
評分盧貢傢族第十一部,上一部是傢常事。這兩本情節是連貫的。穆雷已經成為名字叫婦女樂園的百貨公司的老闆,妻子在幾年前的意外中死亡。穆雷運用著他運作資本的天賦,把他的女裝店不斷擴大,做成瞭百貨公司,於是他周圍的小商販們迎來瞭末日。不過,這本書,穆雷不再是主角瞭。 按...
評分It is not a book that shocks me to the heart, but definitely a book which paints a impressionism with words. It is the first book that I have ever read by Zola. Rather than describing my feelings using the ideological words, such as capitalism or industria...

作為一部錶現市場狀貌的小說,實在細緻。語言華麗而不失精妙。隻是人物塑造不夠飽滿,感情刻畫遜色於對商城的描寫。
