The weather was most distressing. It had rained all night. The roaring of the overflowing gutters filled the deserted streets in which the houses like sponges absorbed the humidity which penetrating to the interior made the walls sweat from cellar to garret

La petite roque

Literature

La Petite Roque : une fillette violée et étranglée dont le facteur d'un village comme les autres découvre le cadavre lors de sa promenade matinale. " Quel gredin a bien pu faire un pareil coup dans ce pays-ci ? - Qui sait ? Tout le monde est capable de ça. Tout le monde en particulier et personne en général. " La folie chez Maupassant frappe où elle veut, quand elle veut. C'est elle qui précipite l'affreux Renardet (le maire de la commune) sur sa petite victime. Qui pousse une malheureuse servante à l'infanticide (Rosalie Prudent). Un vieux paysan à la pendaison lorsqu'il se sent dépossédé de son bien par le remariage de sa bru (Le Père Amable). Et, quand nous ne sommes pas fous, c'est la vie qui se charge de l'être pour nous : ainsi le héros de L'Ermite découvrira, en regardant une photo sur une cheminée, que la gentille serveuse avec laquelle il vient de passer la nuit est sa fille.

Fort comme la mort

Literature

5.0

Un autre Maupassant que celui des contes normands et de La Maison Tellier. Un Maupassant qui, à travers l'histoire du peintre Olivier Bertin, projette son obsession du déclin, tente de se libérer de l'angoisse qui saisit tout créateur lorsque s'approche l'heure du bilan. Histoire d'un homme qui cherche à retrouver dans la fille de sa maîtresse sa jeunesse perdue, Fort comme la mort est aussi un grand roman social qui analyse les mécanismes et les rites de ce monde du faux semblant, de l'ennui, de la stérilité du coeur que l'on appelle le grand monde. On a dit : Paul Bourget, mais la lucidité, déjà, est celle de Proust.

Instead of memorizing vocabulary words, work your way through an actual well-written novel. Even novices can follow along as each individual English paragraph is paired with the corresponding French paragraph. It won't be an easy project, but you'll learn a lot.
