LET'S TALK ABOUT ANNE FRANK JOURNAL

This was probably one of the most disturbing novels I have read. Knowing that it is not fictional makes it even more perturbing. We do not only witness the terror of living in constant fear during a time that denies your existence, but we also delve into the intimacy of a teenager in hiding, which is quite humbling and makes us realize how privileged we are. I would one hundred percent recommend it to anyone, but with a strong heads up because many parts of the book are disturbing.






A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT ABOUT THE ANNE FRANK JOURNAL

During the Second World War (1942), in the Netherlands, Anne Frank, a 13-year-old Jewish girl, hides. She will be discovered two years later, sent to Auschwitz, and she will die there. Otto, her father, is deeply impressed by the journal he finds after her deportation. In honor of his brave daughter, who once dreamt of becoming a journalist or a famous writer, he then publishes it. The journal has been translated into 70 different languages. If you're really interested in her story, there is a museum dedicated to her life in the Netherlands. Here is the website I used for my research here.



WHAT TO READ IF YOU LIKED THE ANNE FRANK JOURNAL

if you liked reading Anne Frank and would like to read more stories about living during the time of the Shoah, I would recommend you read "Une vie" by Simone Veil, who was also deported to Auschwitz. If you would like to know more about Anne Frank, there is a heart-breaking movie about her on Netflix.

Everything about MADAME BOVARY

 LET'S TALK ABOUT MADME BOVARY I have to admit that I didn't read that novel because it was on my shelf, but rather because my 8th-grade teacher made us read it. And I must say, I quite liked it, to be honest. I personally loved the way the life of Emma Bovary was deeply analyzed and depicted. It was really interesting to read about her life, which is probably comparable to that of many middle-class French women of the 19th century. The long descriptions are particular yet impressive, and that is one of the strengths of "Madame Bovary". A LITTLE CONTEXT ABOUT "MADAME BOVARY" "Madame Bovary" was written in 1857 by Gustave Flaubert, a French novelist. It was first published as a serial serialized novel, but after a few installments, the printer decided to stop printing it because he considered the book immoral, particularly regarding religious matters. Flaubert was even sued because of the message it conveyed and the society it depicted. WHAT TO READ...

Simone Veil is the role model of so many women, and I have to admit that she is mine to, she beacme after reading her autobiography : "une vie". The first part of the book talks about her life as jew during the second world war. She spend time in the camp. And even after all of these ordeals she became one of the most political influant woman. All her life she helped people, she helped in the prison, with drugs addiction and she promulgate the Veil law : the right to abort in France in 1974. A LITTLE CONTEXT ABOUT "UNE VIE" " Une vie" was written by Simone Veil, one ex-justice mister of France. It was published in 2007. It was one of the best sell in France in 2008. Une vie means "one life" in french ( a pretty good yet obvious title for an autobiography).  5 WORDS ABOUT "UNE VIE" "the mos...

  LET'S TALK ABOUT LES CAHIERS DE DOUAI I'm not a big fan of poems and poetry, but I had to read Les Cahiers de Douai for school this year. I have to admit that I quite enjoyed it. What I loved the most about it was the story around this collection. Did you know Arthur Rimbaud was only 17 when he wrote it, and it is a pure masterpiece? He also wrote it during two runaways to Belgium (he was French). I loved how, as a teenager, he denounced social issues. A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT ABOUT LES CAHIERS DE DOUAI As I mentioned, Arthur Rimbaud wrote Les Cahiers de Douai when he was 17 years old, in 1870, during a time when France was at war with Prussia. Life wasn't easy, and people couldn't express themselves freely. Napoleon III, an emperor, was ruling the country with an iron fist. The collection is composed of 22 poems in 2 books. It is still taught in schools in France today. WHAT TO READ IF YOU LIKED LES CAHIERS DE DOUAI As I said before, I am not a big fan of poetry, so...
