Book Reviews of French Stories / Contes Fran?ais (A Dual-Language Book) (English and French Edition)
Book Review: A great way to brush up on your French
Summary: 5 Stars
The English translations are not much to brag about, but they are there to serve a specific purpose: enabling us to read the original French. When we are engaged on such a project, we actually do not care about the beauty of the English translations: we need a trot, pretty much.
What matters more, I think, is whether the short stories are worth reading, and here Wallace Fowlie has scored a major triumph. Maupassant's "Menuet" and Balzac's "La Messe de l'Athee" are simply superb, and I look forward to reading the rest!
