Nana (Penguin Classics)
This rather risque novel?for 1880 that is?tells the story of ruthless protagonist Nana's rise from the gutter to the height of Parisian society. The book's heavy allusion to sexual favors caused it to be denounced as pornography upon publication, which, of course, made it a big hit.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
