Nana (French Edition)

Nana (French Edition) Review



Dans Nana, le neuvième roman de la série Les Rougon-Macquart, il s’agit du thème de la prostitution feminine a travers la vie de Nana, fille de Gervaise et de Coupeau dont l’histoire est narrée dans L’Assommoir. Les charmes de Nana affolent les plus puissants hommes du Second Empire. C’est surtout le cas de Muffat qui est conduit au plus vil abaissement par les caprices de Nana.

Né à Paris le 2 avril 1840, mort à Paris le 29 septembre 1902, c’est l’un de romanciers français plus célèbres du XIX siècle. Zola est considéré le maître du naturalisme littéraire. Auteur de nombreux romans, y compris le grand cycle de Les Rougon-Macquart, une espèce de comédie humaine, Zola tire de ses difficultés matérielles ses idées naturalistes de la société. Les dernières années de sa vie son marquées par l’affaire Dreyfus.

This unexpurgated edition contains the complete text, with minor errors and omissions corrected.

French Short Stories 1 / Nouvelles Francaises 1: Parallel Text (Penguin Parallel Text) (French Edition)

French Short Stories 1 / Nouvelles Francaises 1: Parallel Text (Penguin Parallel Text) (French Edition) Review



Originally written to entertain, move or chill, the eight short stories in this collection accompanied by parallel English translations now also help students gain deeper insights into French literature and life. Arranged in approximate order of difficulty, the range of stories is wide, from the stylized wit of Raymond Queneau to the beautifully written ambiguities of Philippe Sollers, from Pierre Gascar's exploration of childhood as a background to a tale of infidelity to Henri Thomas' gentle, ironic look at war. All make wonderful reads in either language.

SmartFrench: Beginner Level - Learn French from Real French People

SmartFrench: Beginner Level - Learn French from Real French People Review



SmartFrench: Beginner Level - Learn French from Real French People Feature

  • Unique method. Authentic interviews, "...a Must!" W. Martin, ex-political editor, Oakland Tribune
  • 3 CDs w/booklet to learn french from real french people
  • It uses colors to show what is and what is not pronounced in spoken French
  • Conversations written down exactly as spoken to speak french like natives
  • French lessons with rules of the french language explained in a simple way
Attention: The novice in French should start with our SmartFrench - Introduction to French, Vol.1 and Vol.2 first, to study the basic grammar, conjugation and vocabulary that we observed you need in order to get a perfect foundation.

The horse - in French, is - Le cheval -. Would you like to be taught to say: - luh shuhvahl -, as taught by most products listed (which is correct only when you read), or: - luhsh fahl -, the way it will sound in a regular conversation and the way SmartFrench teaches? This difference is true for most words.

Learning French requests that you learn to speak French and that you learn to understand it. Vol.1 and Vol.2 will teach you to speak and these SmartFrench Audio CDs Beginner will teach you to understand and be understood.

If you enter a conversation in French with no training to listen to it, you will not be able to get what is coming back to you. Then your French studies will be worth nothing. On the other hand, even if you feel hesitant to speak French, you can have a conversation saying just “yes” or “no”, as long as you understand the other person. That’s why to develop listening skills is so important. With SmartFrench you will develop two-way conversation skills.

The audio CDs can be played anywhere. The CDROM - also available on amazon.com, is for the computer. It contains all three levels and some extras, as well as the videos of the interviews on which the lessons are based (to see people when they speak always helps.)

Also available: SmartSpanish, SmartItalian, SmartFrench for Travelers.
