Book Reviews of Le Petit Larousse Illustre (French Edition)
Book Review: Great dictionary for francophiles
Summary: 5 Stars
Le Petit Larousse Illustre is a great French dictionary for any serious student or admirer of the French language and/or French culture. This is a French/French dictionary so it is not for someone who is searching for a good English/French dictionary. However, for the serious francophile whose interest goes beyond a general definition of a word in French, this dictionary is invaluable---it will give you the precise nuances of the word in question, not just a vague definition. I would say the only fault I can find with this dictionary is that it does not give pronunciations of the words themselves---so it presupposes that you already know how the word would be pronounced, which, for a non-native speaker, is not always the case. The dictionary also contains many pictures, maps, drawings, and a whole section in the second half of the book dedicated to famous people, like an encyclopedia of inventors, heads of state, mythological heros, writers, etc. I can (and do) spend hours pawing through this gem of a book---I love it and I would recommend it to anyone who loves French and French culture.
