La Gloire de mon père (Souvenirs d'enfance, #1)
Marcel Pagnol
4.8
Je suis né dans la ville d'Aubagne, sous le Garlaban couronné de chèvres, au temps des derniers chevriers." Ainsi commence l'autobiographie de Marcel Pagnol, immortel auteur de La Trilogie marseillaise, La Femme du boulanger, entre autres savoureuses histoires à l'accent chantant. On découvre ici l'enfance du jeune Marcel et sa découverte des collines enchantées des environs de Marseille. La famille Pagnol loue pour les vacances une bastide près d'un petit village. Le père de Marcel s'initie à la chasse et sera l'auteur d'un coup de fusil magistral qui lui vaudra l'admiration de tous, à commencer par celle de son fils, et qui donne son titre au livre. Ce premier tome est suivi de deux autres, Le Château de ma mère et Le Temps des secrets. L'incroyable mémoire et le talent de conteur de l'auteur restituent merveilleusement les joies simples, les chagrins énormes, la délicieuse naïveté de l'enfance, sans omettre les tours pendables et bêtises en tous genres qui la ponctuent nécessairement. Une histoire vraie belle comme un roman, bourrée de tendresse et d'émotion, pleine de drôlerie aussi. On lit, on relit, on s'y reconnaît. À travers la sienne, Marcel Pagnol raconte toutes les enfances... du moins telles qu'elles devraient être. --Pascale Wester --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.

Lingo Mastery
4.7
Do you know what the hardest thing for a French learner is?
Finding PROPER reading material that they can handle…which is precisely the reason we’ve written this book!
Teachers love giving out tough, expert-level literature to their students, books that present many new problems to the reader and force them to search for words in a dictionary every five minutes — it's not entertaining, useful or motivating for the student at all, and many soon give up on learning at all!
In this book we have compiled 20 easy-to-read, compelling and fun stories that will allow you to expand your vocabulary and give you the tools to improve your grasp of the wonderful French tongue.
How French Short Stories for Beginners works:
Each story will involve an important lesson of the tools in the French language (Verbs, Adjectives, Past Tense, Giving Directions, and more), involving an interesting and entertaining story with realistic dialogues and day-to-day situations. The summaries follow a synopsis in French and in English of what you just read, both to review the lesson and for you to see if you understood what the tale was about. At the end of those summaries, you'll be provided with a list of the most relevant vocabulary involved in the lesson, as well as slang and sayings that you may not have understood at first glance! Finally, you'll be provided with a set of tricky questions in French, providing you with the chance to prove that you learned something in the story. Don't worry if you don't know the answer to any — we will provide them immediately after, but no cheating! So look no further!

Complete French with Two Audio CDs: A Teach Yourself Program
Le Misanthrope ou l’Atrabilaire amoureux est une comédie de mœurs en cinq actes et en vers.
C’est une des meilleures pièces de théâtre de Molière - et une des plus grandes comédies – se concentrant sur les absurdités de prétentions sociale et littéraire, dans le personage d’un homme qui est prompt à critiquer les fautes des autres, mais reste aveugle au siens. Cette pièce satirise les hypocrisies de la société aristocratique française, mais elle engage aussi un ton plus sérieux en indiquant les défauts qui sont propres à tous les humains. La pièce est différente d’autres farces du temps par l’emploi des personnages dynamiques comme Alceste et Célimène, par opposition aux personnages traditionnellement pâle utilisé par la plupart des satiristes pour critiquer les problèmes de la société. Elle diffère aussi de la plupart d’autres œuvres de Molière en se concentrant davantage sur le développement du caractère et de nuances que sur la progression de l’intrigue. La pièce, pas un succès commercial en son temps, est de nos jours considérée comme la pièce la plus connue de son œuvre.

T. Cullen Young was a Livingstonia missionary, who first set sail for Malawi in 1904. Hw was influential in education, and the Africanisation of the church. Later on, he developed an interest in African languages, culture and history, writing prolifically on these subjects, and may now be read as a documentalist of this particular period of missionary history. Cullen Young's studies of the Tumbuka for example, provided the first published record of the ethnography and history of northern Malawi. This studies provides an overview of the man and his work, placing the thinking of this particular writer into historical and social context. It exploes the oft-neglected areas of common interest between missionaries and anthropologists. It comments on Cullen Young's historical, educational and literary contributions, and his political concerns, illustrating how Cullen Young's broader concerns with African culture had political implications in the pre- and post-independence eras. The biography further explores the relationship between its subject and the young Hastings Kamuzu Banda, and their subsequent collaborative work.
