A Zola classic of love, money and betrayal. The original romance novel with soul, pain and compelling social commentary.

Nana is both a compelling portrayal of a Parisian prostitute and a brilliant evocation of the glittering, corrupt world of the Second French Empire. This is an older book shows a bit of wear at the spine and corners but is still in very good condition.
