From the back cover:
At the head of the scarlet list of literature's most vivid courtesans stands Nana. Rich men left their fortunes, their titles, and their honor at her feet: Poor men left their love and even their lives.
Voluptuous and violent, she created a world of luxury which revolved about her person. She squandered fortunes, ruined reputations, and flaunted her successes with sublime abandon and contempt. Her reign over the men of Parisian society was absolute. Her power was passion.
The story of Nana's rise, her conquests, her final degradation and degenerate end is the masterpiece of the greatest French realist of modern times. With irresistible drive and overpowering realism it carries the reader deep into a lush and sensuous era and into the personal life of an amoral woman.
