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.

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...
評分此書與《貓打球商店》正好是老式商業與現代商業巔峰寫照。《貓打球商店》所代錶的老式商業其決竅是“賣得好”,而現代商業則是“賣得快賣得多”。 為什麼會有這種區彆呢?關鍵在現代資本主義大生産的産生。在大生産齣現之前,産品由手工生産,産量有限,所以老商人們隻能走專業...
評分這本書讀瞭有3遍,初中第一次讀,非常喜歡裏麵的描寫,文筆漂亮很有帶入感,對於裏麵的商業運作及運作過程中存在的風險、心理變化寫的都很細緻。男主角堅韌的性格、放蕩但內心又充滿瞭對真愛的渴望和執著、充滿瞭熱情的態度,很迷人,女主角獨立的思考、對內心想法的堅持與執著...
評分I am reading it. Two protagonists have not even fallen into love with each other yet. But generally, I don't think it is a novel that requires much thinking and analysis from the reader. The narrator is very reliable. He has arranged everything on his ow...
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。
