About this product

Product Information

"The selections are good and the translations are excellent." Germaine Brée, New York University Drawn from two centuries of French literature, these superb selections by ten great writers span a wide variety of styles, philosophies, and literary creeds. The stories reflect not only the beliefs of various literary schools, but the preoccupations of French civilization, at the various times of their composition, with the metaphysical and psychological problems of man. Contents include Micromégas (Voltaire), La Messe de l'Athée (Honoré de Balzac), La Légende de Saint Julien l'Hospitalier (Gustave Flaubert), Le Spleen de Paris (Charles Baudelaire), Menuet (Guy de Maupassant), Mort de Judas (Paul Claudel), Le Retour de l'Enfant Prodigue (André Gide), Grand-Lebrun (François Mauriac), Le Passe-Muraille (Marcel Aymé), and L'Hôte (Albert Camus). Students of French, or those who wish to refresh their knowledge of the language, will welcome this treasury of masterly fiction. The selections are arranged chronologically, allowing the reader to witness the development of French literary art -- from Voltaire to Camus. Excellent English translations appear on pages facing the Original French. Also included are a French-English vocabulary list, textural notes, and exercises.

    For self-teaching French

    I bought this book for help in self-teaching myself French. This dual-language book is useful, but it doesn't mean one can use it without using a dictionary. A dictionary is really needed, but it's nice to confirm your translation by English version of the book. And in my point of view the translation isn't great either, but it serves it's purpose. I didn't finish the book since I'm reading in parallel other books (Italian and German), but knowing all I know now, I still would've bought this book.

    Great book, not only for it having the stories in a bilingual format, but also because of the philosophers involved in the stories. Thank you guys
