Emile Zola

En ese Paris febril y deslumbrante del Segundo Imperio todo el mundo se ocupaba de Nana, la nueva estrella del Teatro de Variedades. Bajo esa fama, ambicion desenfrenada, y sensualidad, se ocultaba una corriente de vejaciones, miseria, y sufrimientos. Simbolo de la decadencia de la sociedad Parisina, Nana se convierte tambien en el prototipo de la mujer fatal, la cortesana sin escrupulos, y cuyos atributos son sintomas de corrupcion que la perseguiran hasta su muerte. A pesar de la densidad de la novela, esta no nunca cansa; mas bien -como una ola imparable- guia al lector hasta una conclusion tan grafica que mesmeriza, ofende, pero a la vez, como literatura-hechiza y satisface.

La obra pertenece al estilo literario denominado naturalismo en la que Zola describe entre frutas, verduras, carnes, pescados, embutidos y quesos, la vida cotidiana de la sociedad parisina en torno al nuevo mercado central de Les Halles de Par s, gigantesco edificio met lico con muros de cristal, que fue una de las construcciones parisinas m s relevantes del II Imperio, construido entre 1854 y 1870 por V ctor Baltard y derribado cien a os despu s. En este bodeg n literario Zola narra el regreso de Florent (quien ha vivido deportado en Cayena durante a os) a una ciudad en la que vivi su juventud y en la que se reencuentra con su hermano menor Quenu, casado con Lisa Macquart. Florent se dedica contra su voluntad a ejercer de inspector de pescado en el mercado central y encuentra en su tiempo libre su verdadera vocaci n, la docencia y la pol tica. Con un grupo de correligionarios conspirar contra el Segundo Imperio y, al final, sus actividades le conducir n a una nueva deportaci n.

- La bibliographie de l'auteur - Dans les Contes a Ninon (parus en 1864, Zola a 24 ans) et les Nouveaux Contes a Ninon (1874), Zola expose tous ses talents, il joue de tous les registres, de tous les genres: le merveilleux, le fantastique, la satire, l'epopee, le recit realiste, l'autobiographie. Il y exploite tous les tons: l'humour, l'ironie, le pathetique, le serieux demonstratif, la colere. Ces volumes de contes sont une refraction de l'oeuvre entiere: ils resument dix annees de production litteraire et annoncent des themes, des figures et des formes que l'ecrivain developpera dans ses grands chefs-d'oeuvre. Entre contes et chroniques, sous le signe de la fantaisie comme du serieux, ces oeuvres de jeunesse montrent la richesse, l'ambiguite, la puissance d'imagination et d'expression qui donneront bientot leur prix aux romans a venir.

Extrait du roman: La chambre se trouvait peine clair e par la clart p le du cr puscule. Les rideaux des fen tres, demi cart s, laissaient voir les branches hautes des arbres, que rougissaient les derniers rayons du soleil. En bas, sur le boulevard des Invalides, des enfants jouaient, et leurs rires aigus montaient, adoucis et caressants. Le printemps qui suivit les terribles journ es de l'insurrection de f vrier eut des fra cheurs p n trantes. Les ti des soir es de mai gardent ainsi parfois les frissons de l'hiver. Des souffles frais agitaient les rideaux et apportaient les roulements lointains des voitures. Ici, tombait une m lancolie. Les meubles, vagues dans l'ombre, tachaient de noir les tentures claires; le tapis, rosaces bleues, p lissait peu peu. La nuit avait d j envahi le plafond et les coins de la pi ce.
