LET'S TALK ABOUT DIRE L'AMOUR


If you love poetry, I am pretty sure you are going to love Dire l'amour. It's a compilation of love poems—French poems, to be specific. If you are learning French or are interested in French literature and culture, you should read it because it features a mix of poems from mostly famous poets, and honestly, they're some of the best. So, if you want to impress others with your knowledge of French, I highly recommend reading it.


A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT ABOUT DIRE L'AMOUR

The book is a collection of 39 poems, ranging from antiquity to modern times. There are questions at the end to help you better understand the poems, as well as paintings related to the poems, and more insights about poetry and its history.


WHAT TO READ IF YOU LIKED READING DIRE L'AMOUR


I must admit, I don't read a lot of poetry, but I would recommend Les Cahiers de Douai by Arthur Rimbaud, a French poet. You could also read Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur, a feminist poet. I personally loved her poems and this collection.



FAVOURITE QUOTE FROM DIRE L'AMOUR

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...

  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...
