The Ladies' Paradise

( 23 )

Overview

"The Ladies' Paradise" (Au Bonheur des Dames) recounts the development of the modern department store in late nineteenth-century Paris.

Overview

"The Ladies' Paradise" (Au Bonheur des Dames) recounts the development of the modern department store in late nineteenth-century Paris. The store is a symbol of capitalism, of the modern city, and of the bourgeois family; it is emblematic of consumer culture and the changes in sexual attitudes and class relations taking place at the end of the century. Octave Mouret, the store's owner-manager, masterfully exploits the desires of his female customers. In his private life as much as in business he is the great seducer. But when he falls in love with the innocent Denise Baudu, he discovers she is the only one of the salesgirls who refuses to be commodified. This new translation of the eleventh book in the Rougon-Macquart cycle captures the spirit of one of Zola's greatest novels of the modern city.

    NAME: Nightclaw AGE: 25 moons LOOKS: Hes a skinny jet black tom with blood red eyes, has long legs and a long tail, eyes twitches sometimes. CRUSH: Snowclaw MATE: Snowclaw KITS: Hopes to have some with Snowclaw sometime in the future. KIN: Soaringjay (brother missing) Wildheart (sister missing) Jaggedfur (brother missing) Dawnsky (sister dead) Shadowflame (father missing) Wolfsong (mother dead) EXTRA: Insane, sly, able to hide in shadows. INFO: Thinks of Eclipsepaw as his little brother, like Sonic and Tails. Has a scar over his right eye. Claws and fangs are unusually sharp. HISTORY: He used to live in Mistclan, but one day, Twolegs who were fishing got to smoking, and decided to drop their cigarettes, without putting them out.The fire roared and burned down the cats who had stayed in the camp, while the others on the hunting patrol survived. Nightclaw was devastated, searching moons for his family. The rest of the hunting patrol was never found, and nightclaw ran, wishing for a new life. He found Wingclan, and found his new home. He now lives there, staying in his den at the last result.
