this outstanding guide. Highly recommended.
*Library Journal, Starred Review*
[M]asterpieces of French Literature is intended as a supplementary
guide to aid comprehension and exploration, and not as a substitute
for reading the work, nor is it the mechanical dissection and
parsing of a Cliff's Notes - the essays here flow with far more
depth, insight, and curiosity. Highly recommended for literature
and literary studies shelves.
