Summary: "Naisten aarreaitta" by Émile Zola is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Denise, a young woman who arrives in Paris with her two brothers after experiencing the tragedy of losing their parents. As they navigate the bustling streets of Paris, Denise becomes enchanted by the grandeur of a modern department store called "Naisten Aarreaitta," which symbolizes the allure and opportunity that the city holds, contrasting sharply with her family's modest circumstances. The opening of the novel introduces Denise and her two brothers—Jean and little Pépé—who have just arrived in Paris after a tiring journey. They are overwhelmed by the vastness of the city and their first sighting of the impressive department store stirs a mix of wonder and longing in Denise. As they pause to admire the vibrant displays and luxurious items showcased in the store's windows, the siblings momentarily forget their struggles. The narrative sets the stage for Denise's internal conflict between her family's financial hardships and her aspirations for a better life symbolized by the department store, suggesting a story rich in themes of ambition, social class, and the changing landscape of commerce and femininity during the era.
