StrixNebulosa posted:Are there any good french historical novels? I mean I assume so, but like, I have no idea where to start. Marguerite Yourcenar's Memoirs of Hadrian and The Abyss. Zoé Oldenbourg's Destiny of Fire. Anatole France's The Gods Are Athirst. Also seconding Salammbô, which is very atypical of Flaubert but unbelievably lurid and well-written. e: For more pulpy stuff, I wanted to recommend Paul Féval's The Hunchback, which is kind of the quintessential French swashbuckling novel alongside The Three Musketeers, but it doesn't seem to have been translated... Féval's The White Wolf does have an "adaptation" in English, but I wouldn't necessarily trust it, considering the cover (the book takes place in 18th-century France). lost in postation fucked around with this message at 11:59 on Apr 20, 2020 |
