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.

小时候阅读,绝对是一气呵成,具体内容已经记不太清,依稀记得当初对这个作家的感想是——“一个狠角色”,对这本书的印象是“一气呵成的犀利之作”。 好看,近期打算再看一遍。
评分这本书其实是经营妇女消费品从简单实用到豪华糜菲发展的一个缩影,从小店面普通商人的生活一直描写到大百货公司老板的发家史。客观上真实描写了人类爱、恨、贪婪的欲望。窃以为BOSS每天关门结业时在办公室里数钱的形象最为活生生。
评分几乎可以说,妇女乐园是现今超市的一个雏形,里面所描写的商业理念、技巧等,仍可应用于今日。 有两部书是我非常喜欢以致于使我对超市行业非常向往的(可惜未能有机会从事这个行业),一部就是这个,另一部是《一个非凡的女人埃玛》(此书在这里找不到)。
评分It is not a book that shocks me to the heart, but definitely a book which paints a impressionism with words. It is the first book that I have ever read by Zola. Rather than describing my feelings using the ideological words, such as capitalism or industria...
评分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...
naturalistic rendering of the birth of the first department store
评分作为一部表现市场状貌的小说,实在细致。语言华丽而不失精妙。只是人物塑造不够饱满,感情刻画逊色于对商城的描写。
评分naturalistic rendering of the birth of the first department store
评分nice reading
评分从古至今法国小说都明里暗里包含了一个主题:乱搞。百货公司发展史中隐含的资本主义从自由贸易到垄断,下次再逛老佛爷,感觉估计也不一样了。
