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'

very comfortable, good looking
Size: X-Large, Color: Deep Blue
Perfect for my husband. So comfortable and look like regular jeans like he used to be able to wear. All his life he would only wear Levi shrink to fit, but in last few years they were too stiff and uncomfortable due to injuries and poor health, so has been wearing stretch pants and hating them. I ordered these not expecting them to work, but they fit him perfectly and are so comfortable I ordered him 2 more pair. He is so happy to be wearing blue jeans again. One caution, other styles of this brand do not fit the same as these jeans, I ordered another and have to return them and order 1 or 2 sizes bigger than the jeans

Good quality, stress, jeans I recommend them
Size: Large, Color: Beau Blue
Great fit I never seen jeans at stretch but they are comfortable. I tried to order a 30 for some reason they gave me a 36. It’s a little too big but I guess I’ll watch hot water. The waist will shrink. I’m gonna try to order another pair, but I want them in 34 not 36 and it’s giving me a problem when I try to order 34 pops up 36. I’ll figure it out but other than that nice jeans good quality
