She quickly gains fame and a host of male admirers. But as Nana plays with her companions' emotions, leading them to ruin, misfortune, and even suicide, she risks destroying herself in the process.Considered outrageous when it was first published in 1880, Nana is a powerful exposé of the hypocrisy of French society and the tragedy of a world where selfishness rules supreme.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Classics series brings together high-quality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs.
