"Nana is the most widely known of the long series of violently realistic novels by Emile Zola about the Rougon-Macquart family. Through them he intended to represent different combinations of 'good' and 'bad' blood, to submit his characters to all kinds of situations, to demonstrate that the character and course of life of each human being is determined by heredity and environment.
