## Description

The Ladies Paradise ( Au Bonheur des Dames ), now a TV series called The Paradise based on this classic novel, recounts the rise 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 changes in consumer culture and the changes in sexual attitudes and class relations taking place at the end of the century. This new translation of the eleventh novel in the Rougon-Macquart cycle captures the spirit of one of Zola's greatest works. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Review: What was life like before going to the mall? Find out here! - As a writer he is not my favourite in terms of style but if you want to understand our western consumer lifestyle all you need to do is read this book. This book is about the advent of the modern department store. Scores of respectable middle class ladies began shoplifting - their heads were turned by the enticing displays of luxury goods - other families went bankrupt - and of course there are plenty of romances and scandals behind the counter - ‘Commesse’ or ‘Are you being served?’ - this is the original! It all starts here!
Review: A good read - I bought this book for my wife after watching The Paradise. It is a good book to read and she thoroughly enjoyed it.
