Nana (Version 2), Book Nine of Rougon-Macquart Cycle
Émile Zola
Read by Mark Leder
Anna Coupeau, known as Nana, makes her debut in 1867 at the Theatre de Varietes, and is an instant sensation. It is as a prostitute, however, that she becomes infamous in Paris, as a destroyer of men. She meets with an ignominious end at the very eve of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. - Summary by Mark Leder (18 hr 8 min)
