This feast of an anthology celebrates its most famous practitioners, as well as newly translated writers ready for rediscovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first volume spans four hundred years, taking the reader from the sixteenth century to the 'golden age' of the fin de siècle. Its pages are populated by lovers, phantoms, cardinals, labourers, enchanted statues, gentleman burglars, retired bureaucrats, panthers and parrots, in a cacophony of styles and voices. From the affairs of Madame de Lafayette to the polemic realism of Victor Hugo, the supernatural mystery of Guy de Maupassant to the dark sensuality of Rachilde, this is the place to start for lovers of French literature, new and old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePublished: UK, 2024\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Penguin Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003ePages: 512\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9780241462003\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 0241462002\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patrick McGuinness","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45306980335882,"sku":"","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780241462003.jpg?v=1710167578","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/penguin-book-of-french-short-stories","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
