Features: Nana, this frivolous girl, appears on stage with great boldness. Her rounded shoulders, full breasts, wide hips that sway, and the lustful aura that emanates from her, entice countless nobles and aristocrats, corrupting the entire upper class of Paris. Nana, this girl of revenge, uses the destruction of the men she despises as a means to exact revenge on everything, until self-destruction... "Nana is a masterpiece; Nana has become an eternal and real myth." "Nana" is an important work in the world-renowned "The Rougon-Macquart Family," a 20-volume series of novels written by the famous 19th-century French writer émile Zola between 1871 and 1893. The protagonist of this book, Nana, is an abandoned illegitimate daughter who once roamed the streets, became a prostitute, and was later hailed as a celebrity after performing in "The Golden Goddess." She becomes a plaything for the princes and nobles of Parisian high society. She lives life carelessly, sells her charms, and navigates among her pursuers, draining their wealth, using this as a way to avenge social injustice, but ultimately cannot escape her tragic fate.
