Au Bonheur Des Dames (The Ladies' Delight)

Now the basis for the major BBC tv adaptation The Paradise, this is a lavish drama and a timeless commentary on consumer capitalism. The Penguin Classics edition of Émile Zola's The Ladies' Delight is based on an acclaimed, vivid and modern translation by Robin Buss, who has also introduced the novel.

The Ladies' Delight is the glittering Paris department store run by Octave Mouret. He has used charm and drive to become director of this mighty emporium, unscrupulously exploiting his young female staff and seducing his lady customers with luxurious displays of shimmering silks, satins, velvets and lace. Then Denise Baudu, a naïve provincial girl, becomes an assistant at the store - and Mouret discovers that he in turn can also be enchanted. With its greedy customers, gossiping staff and vibrant sense of theatre, The Ladies' Delight (Au Bonheur des Dames in the original French) is one of the most richly exciting novels in Zola's Les Rougon-Macquart cycle.This edition also contains a bibliography, introduction, chronology and explanatory notes.Emile Zola (1840-1902) was the leading figure in the French school of naturalistic fiction. His principal work, Les Rougon-Macquart, is a panorama of mid-19th century French life, in a cycle of 20 novels which Zola wrote over a period of 22 years, including Au Bonheur des Dames (1883), The Beast Within (1890), Nana (1880), and The Drinking Den (1877).'A complete page-turner about the consumer society, greed, fashion and instant gratification'

Great sport coat
Color: Light Grey, Size: 4
This sport coat is incredibly classy and a sharp fit. The color and material is quite nice and it is well sewn for the price. It is dressy enough to be used as an evening jacket, and a good weight to not be too hot. I will be ordering it in more colors as my son loves it and enjoys how sharp he looks.

High quality
Color: Champagne, Size: 4
High quality! I was shocked when we opened this.. it is very nice for the price and much less than a department store. Washed well and no shrinkage. Looks great, too!

Measure Carefully
Color: Champagne, Size: 12
Great quality, handsome style with a modern color, and fit. Just be aware if your little guy is smaller in stature the arms may be a bit long. Measure carefully.

Great little boy blazer
Color: Dark Blue, Size: 8, Color: Dark Blue, Size: 8
Too adorable and good quality. My picture doesn't do it justice. A nice dark blue with a subtle pattern. Will go well with many outfits. Fits well and not too snug with a shirt or light sweater underneath.

Long sleeves
Color: Dark Brown, Size: 14
Looks so good on my boy. I bought a little big (size 14 for my 11 year old) and turned the sleeves in a couple inches, which requires moving the buttons, but I think he might get a couple years wear as he is probably about to hit a height growth spurt. It doesn't look cheap - the material is thick enough to drape nicely.
