About This Novel
Nana was noticed by the entertainment theater manager, and her starring role in "Blonde Venus" was a success. Men from Paris's upper class fell under her skirt. She was successively supported by the banker Steine and the Queen's attendant Count Mifa. She became a popular socialite in Paris, eating up the money of the men who pursued her, making them bankrupt one by one. Some even died in hell. She eventually died of smallpox, just as the Second Empire was about to collapse in the Franco-Prussian War. The rise and fall of Nana's life became a portrayal of the corrupt and degenerate society of the Second Empire.

The description of the characters being dominated by desire is profound, and at the same time, it fully demonstrates the ugliness in human nature with absurd and funny descriptions. It is a work worth seeing. Nana is also my favorite female name.
