Constantine, Helen
French Tales
Writers include among others Maupassant, Zola, Annie Saumont, Marcel Aym--eacute--;, Didier Daeninckx and Stephane --Eacute--;mond. The subject-matter ranges from stories about marriage, the First World War and homelessness to house-buying, childhood and honour-killing.
Following the model of Paris Tales, also translated by Helen Constantine, each story is illustrated with a striking photograph and there is a map indicating the position of the French regions. There is an introduction and notes to accompany the stories and a selection of Further Reading. The book will appeal to people who love travelling or are armchair travellers, as much as to those who love France and things French. -
