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.

少年時讀左拉的《婦女樂園》,被裏麵嘆為觀止的巴黎高檔百貨業摺服,這居然是一百多年前的資本主義,看到身邊纔剛剛興盛起來的社會主義的百貨業,由衷的驚嘆我們離世界差距有多少 守舊的老派手工業者無不憤恨大型百貨零售業將他們的生存空間擠死,年輕一代卻為商業的發展而歡欣...
評分左拉是我中學時期喜愛的作傢之一。年輕的我喜歡那種flowery的語言和描寫,對感官有很強烈的刺激。但如今看瞭《婦女樂園》後,我發覺,我已經不愛這種作傢。也許是成長中,會不再喜歡以往喜歡的事物,或者有新的事物讓我更為嚮往。看完全書後我一點都不能被打動,隻覺得人物很假...
評分太久沒有看過電視劇瞭,昨天打開youku英劇,居然發現瞭這麼一段深藏的記憶。 《The Paradise》,女士樂園。 17歲時偶然在國圖邊上的一個舊書店挑瞭幾本書,都是2、3摺的價格,其中有左拉的《女士樂園》、西沃卡的《肥皂劇、性和香煙》、林白《一個人的戰爭》以及若乾本亨利米...
評分幾乎可以說,婦女樂園是現今超市的一個雛形,裏麵所描寫的商業理念、技巧等,仍可應用於今日。 有兩部書是我非常喜歡以緻於使我對超市行業非常嚮往的(可惜未能有機會從事這個行業),一部就是這個,另一部是《一個非凡的女人埃瑪》(此書在這裏找不到)。

從古至今法國小說都明裏暗裏包含瞭一個主題:亂搞。百貨公司發展史中隱含的資本主義從自由貿易到壟斷,下次再逛老佛爺,感覺估計也不一樣瞭。
