oh say can you see
by the dawn's early lights
what so proudly we hail
while the twilight last gleaming
with broad stripes and bright stars
through the perils of night
and our flag was still there
what so proudly we hail
while the twilight last gleaming
say does that star spangled banner yet wain
from the land of the free and the home of the brave

Victor Hugo is easy to read as long as you enjoy his 100+ page asides about French history.

Dumas.

>>9629878
Sure, Dumas is French but his novels aren't very "French"

He's right you know, Dumas is genre trash and more generally European than french

How easy are you looking? Goscinny will forever hold a place in my heart.

Foucault is rubbish and is to blame for the modern cultural Marxism that reigns in France and the majority of Europe. Read him only to understand what went wrong.

Racine is a quality and concise writer.

Voltaire is very funny and cynical, you can learn the nature of French humour through him: laughing at the absurdity of life. He's also an excellent commentator of political shifts who lived a fascinating life.

Rousseau (technically Swiss) has his head up his own arse.

Maupassant is a modernist but one of the better one.

Zola is a pseudoscientist, germinal is his only relevant novel.

I personally dislike Hugo but he is easily core.

Camus is good, but you have to read myth of Sisyphus to understand his point, which requires knowing philosophers like Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Lesquier. You can still try it without knowing them but his references might go over your head.

Moliere if you're into plays, but I personally find he isn't worth Shakespeare, despite being hailed as his rival in the French language.

Is that an original thought of yours? After returning from a weekend overseas I'm reminded just how bad this pandemic is.

For years I thought it was "daunderly lights," and wondered what the fuck daunderly meant.

stopped reading there

Georges Bernanos. Catholic, antifascist, regarded as the French Dostoevsky.

Michel Tournier. Retold old stories in new ways, like Robinson Crusoe.

Blaise Pascal. Incredible style, at the same time a scientist, a thinker and a Catholic mystic.

For superb writing, try Henri Bosco's children books like L'enfant et la Rivière (The boy and the river) or L'âne Culotte (The donkey Culotte).

READ MY NIGGA CELINE

reminder that Foucault petitioned the French government to abolish the age of consent

>>9630414

This is probably the best suggestion on the thread annon, I'm pretty much french and can say that tolstoy into french is as good as it gets.

Picture being a senior network engineer putting in time since your 20s to make it in the field and all the studying, money and stress you go through to make it as a man, and there are women like this shaking their ass on video and they make more money than men who work hard for a living

Little known fact: it actually IS daunderly lights. These are wavering lights as reflected off water by 'bombs bursting' (in air), ships afire, etc. Pity /you never thought to consult a dictionary..

Around the level of Camus and Voltaire. I've only read 3 books in French: l'étranger, la chute, et le candide. All of which were difficult without being impossible, so I want to stick around that level.

By the grace of a footnote.

This is a captivating book, in a simple and moreover fluid language.

This looks cool, unfortunate that I can't find it anywhere as an ebook.

Antoine de St. Exupery is pretty easy to read.
