I've read quite a few books in comparsion to people at same age and the gave me something, but this looks like a story of french emo woman, who cheats his husband as she pleases to me.

Why are people still reading this?

Just off the top of my head: Balzac, Baudelaire, Maupassant, Stendhal. 19th century French writers that few care about. Or Pierre Louÿs, started published before the turn of the century.

Yeah sure, tell me more about how nobody ever mentions Flowers of Evil.

Seriously some of them are regularly mentioned even on /lit.
Pierre Louÿs is legit on that respect tough.

I cannot sympathize enough with Emma: Charles was a fucking faggot.

Fair enough, but I was thinking about the general public, not /lit/ or any literary circles.

Les Fleurs du Mal has 15,000 ratings on goodreads.

Père Goriot, 13,000.

The Red and the Black, 15,000.

Bel-Ami, 7,000.

Madame Bovary has 75,000. More than all the other combined.

Les Miserables 303,000.

Well, Goodreads is pretty awful when it comes to rating. There's a reason we have Goodreads thread on /lit (because some review are so cringeworthy it is an entertainment of its own).

Baudelaire has huge international, tough, as I heard. It seems that outside of France, studying Baudelaire makes you sound cultivated and refined.
Yet again, it depends where you live. It is true that Maupassant and Stendhal are seldom mentioned even here.

Stendhal is one of the strongest influences of the Modernists, fyi.
