On British TV Series The Paradise's Loose Adaptation of Zola's Au Bonheur des Dames
The British TV series The Paradise(2012-2013)draws inspiration from Émile Zola's novel Au Bonheur des Dames and reappears the era that emerged in the mid-and late 19th century af-ter the birth of modern retailing in loose adaptation.The Paradise retains the basic plot and characters from Zola's novel and"recodes"the stories by virtue of the soap-opera elements and the"chick mov-ie"techniques.In the process of adaptation,The Paradise caters to the contemporary audience and con-sciously conceals the elements of naturalism in Zola's original work,particularly in the portrayal of de-sire,which highlights the theme of nostalgia for the"good old days".
