Paris was shocked when Nana was published and a great cry was raised to supress the book. However it came to be recognized that although the theme was daring, it was in fact a moral book - moral in the sense that it clearly shows that the wages of sin is death. Daughter of a drunkard, Nana grows up in the streets until she comes to the notice of a theater manager. From the veriest dregs of Paris, Nana became the toast of a society which tied itself to the chariot wheels of the sucessful courtesan." $10.00USD
