Anthology of the Best French Short Stories


Book Description

Developed from oral storytelling tradition from the Middle Ages, short story was developed and diversified so that it is now difficult to characterize it. It cannot be included into a specific genre and substantially differ by country and historical period. Short story uses specific techniques to emphasize a singular effect or mood. There are many funny definitions for short stories: "strong essences in small bottles", "to say much in a few words", "a way of synthesized thinking", "a quick way, appropriate to this century, to convey ideas", "intelligence on small spaces", etc. It is a very suitable genre for the youth of today, with concise and powerful message. An escape from the real world in a totally different universe for some, an opportunity to relax or a means of procrastination for others. Short stories readers have more powerful, concentrated and intense ideas and emotions. A deep and relaxing art, very appropriate for our time. I brought together in this anthology some of the most beautiful short stories of the classical French literature.

The Oxford Book of French Short Stories


Book Description

This collection of French short stories in translation expands our idea of French writing by including new stories by women writers and by authors of Francophone origin. Spanning the centuries from the late eighteenth to the late twentieth, the collection opens with a rumbustious tale from the Marquis de Sade, takes in the masters of the nineteenth century, from Stendhal and Balzac to Maupassant, and reaches to Quebec, Africa, and the French Caribbean in the twentieth century. Women writers include relatively well known figures such as Renee Vivien, Colette, and Beauvoir, and newer writers such as Assia Djebar, Christiane Baroche, and Annie Saumont. The French short story is a rich and diverse medium, but all the stories selected share a common characteristic: they make exciting reading.

Memories of a Sparrow


Book Description

"I was born in the acclimation garden of the Bois de Boulogne. My mother had made a choice, to build her nest, of the thatched roof covering the house of a huge, but frightful bird called Marabou... Carpet under the crossed thatch, we lived in the greatest abundance; the mash of the foreign birds assembled in this garden provided my father and my tender mother with an inexhaustible mine to feed us, and the prudent sparrow woman had chosen the house of Marabou because of the proximity of the water, which allowed her to find easily at the edge the worms that we urgently need during our young age, especially at the time of growth of our feathers. My nesting companions were two brothers and two sisters, and our parents waited only a few days to show us the use of our wings. Alas! this is easier said than done! One night, the wind rose under the pressure of the storm. Carpet in the bottom of our nest, under the wings of our parents, we trembled with repeated lightning flashes and under the hot gusts that shook the house on its foundations. Faint with fear, wet with torrents of water coming through the straws and dripping on our nest, we pressed against each other without even daring to cry." CONTENTS: I. THE HOSPITALITY OF A MARABOU STORK II. MY FIRST FRIEND III. THE ELECTION OF THE KING OF BIRDS IV. THE BIRD OF THE GOOD GOD V. THE GREAT HEATHLANDS VI. THE UNKNOWN PEOPLES VII. O MISFORTUNE, BE WELCOME, IF YOU COME ALONE! VIII. DISCOURAGEMENT IX. TOO HAPPY X. HOUSEHOLDS ON HOUSEHOLDS XI. INGRATE AND COWARD XII.

Anthologie des meilleurs petits contes français (Anthology of the Best French Short Stories)


Book Description

Livre bilingue français/anglais (Bilingual French/English Book) - Première édition (First Edition) Éditeur (Editor): Nicolae Sfetcu, Traducteur (Translator): Nicolae Sfetcu Développée à partir de la tradition de narration orale du Moyen Âge, le petit conte a été développé et diversifiée de sorte qu'il est maintenant difficile de la caractériser. Il ne peut pas être inclus dans un genre spécifique et diffère sensiblement selon le pays et la période historique. Le petit conte utilise des techniques spécifiques pour souligner un effet singulier ou une humeur. Il y a de nombreuses définitions drôles pour les petits contes: «essences fortes dans de petites bouteilles», «dire beaucoup en quelques mots», «une manière de penser synthétisée», «un moyen rapide, approprié à ce siècle, de transmettre des idées», «l'intelligence sur des petits espaces», etc. C'est un genre très approprié pour la jeunesse d'aujourd'hui, avec un message concis et puissant. Une évasion du monde réel dans un univers totalement différent pour certains, une occasion de se détendre ou un moyen de procrastination pour les autres. Les lecteurs des petits contes ont des idées et des émotions plus puissantes, concentrées et intenses. Un art profond et relaxant, très approprié pour notre temps. J'ai réuni dans cette anthologie quelques-unes des plus beaux petits contes de la littérature française classique. La première édition se poursuivra au cours des années à venir avec d'autres histoires au moins aussi belles, écrites par les auteurs français les plus célèbres.

The Adventures of a Red Ant


Book Description

"The Reddish Polyergus, the most powerful ants of France by their courage in the fighting, form a people composed of four orders of citizens: males, females, neutrals or warriors ... and slaves, workers conquered on suitable species. I am neutral, and I am proud of it. Is there a life more noble, more chivalrous than mine: to fight, to conquer or to die!... We live for years, and all this time we spend it to serve the country and the nation, to contribute to its greatness, to its power; to make us serve as kings ... and enjoy the sun!"
