An Invitation

Consider this book an invitation—to discover new writers, to revisit familiar ones with fresh eyes, to understand how literature shapes and is shaped by history. These thirty writers offer thirty different ways of being human, thirty different approaches to the fundamental challenge of putting life into words.

From troubadours to tweets, from the divine comedy to the absurd, from Alexandria to Zanzibar, French literature encompasses multitudes. Turn the page and begin your journey through one of the world's richest literary traditions. The writers are waiting to tell you their stories.
