Do you have a favorite French poet, novelist, or essayist you'd like to reread and share with new friends? Are you interested in discovering some of the gems of French literature?
Let's get together and share our favorite French reads. We can read in translation and in the original, so those of you who like French literature but don't know French can still enjoy these works, and those of you who know French can keep it up and improve it.
My favorite works include Montaigne's "Essais" and pre-Revolutionary French novels, such as those by La Fayette, Crebillon, Marivaux, and Laclos. What are your favorite works? Would you be interested in organizing events on 19th, 20th, and 21st-century French literature?
Bonjour à tous,
Pour le prochain meetup, on va lire Montaigne. L'essai Sur des vers de Virgile (III, 5). Cet essai s'agit de l'expérience de l'amour et le sexe, d'un Montaigne plus "mûr." Il commence d'en parlant de combattant les maux et d'être aligné avec la pensée grec et le bien vivre.
Le version que je lis est disponible ici, en français moderne, PDF gratuit. Livre III est aussi en version bilingue. Read more
