Short Stories in French

ISBN: 9780140265439 ISBN10: 0140265430.
This new volume of twelve short stories, with parallel translations, offers students of French at all levels the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of contemporary literature, without having constantly to refer back to a dictionary. Written by authors from Quebec as well as France, the majority of these stories have been published in the last decade and reflect a rich diversity of styles and themes, from Boulanger's exploration of revenge and the desire for recognition, to the sardonic tales of Frederic Fajardie and Sylvie Massicotte. Complete with notes, the stories make excellent reading in either language.
