A Book of Short Stories in French

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Tuesday, 8 July 2025, 22:52

At the moment I am reading a book of short stories in french, by leading french writers of the twentieth century.  This book has a parallel text, so the page on the left is in the french language,  and the accompanying page on the right is in the english language.
I am finding this book very easy to read, because if I come across an unfamiliar word,  all I have to do is look for the equivalent word in the english text, on the right hand side page. This way  I do not even have to use a dictionary!
