About this ebook
A country girl takes work in the first Paris department store and watches it swallow every small shop on the street. Zola researched it inside the Bon Marché with a notebook, and the book is both a love story and the clearest account anyone wrote of how modern retail was invented. This edition adds 43 plates of painting, among them works by Munch, Caillebotte and Doré, and nine illustrations restored and coloured, in Ernest Alfred Vizetelly's translation.
