Why you should study French literature

0

  1. Because French literature is not limited to Sartre and Beauvoir, as French song is not limited to La vie en rose  d’Edith Piaf.
  2. Cause Zadig is not a clothing brand but a a book by Voltaire
  3. Cause you WOULD have never known that Georges Sand is a woman (Oh my God !)
  4. Cause you like gossip and you absolutely want to know why Verlaine shot  Rimbaud
  5. Cause the Holy Grail was not invented by Dan Brown in Da Vinci Code, but by Chrétien de Troyes in the XIIecentury
  6. Cause many authors prefer to write their biography instead of taking selfies.
  7. Cause you believe  in alien races and Maupassant mentioned them before you were born.
  8. Cause your spelling is terrible and like Queneau, you feel that «spelling is more than a bad habit, It is a vanity »
  9. Cause the  « New Novel » is not a book that you have just purchased at Barnes and Noble
  10. Cause at the next cocktail party, you can be confident when you  say : it’s Zola who paved the way to intellectualism not Sartre… »
