Chapter 27 A Few Other French Novels

I would also like to talk about a few more less important works, but this article has reached the word limit, so I can only mention a few more books briefly.Benjamin Constant wrote a book of short stories called Adolphe.In this novel, Benjamin does not focus on the beginning of the relationship like most writers, but analyzes the end of the relationship in a rare way.This is a true record of human nature. It's a terrific romantic novel.It may not be considered a literary work, the characters in the book are somewhat sketchy and the plot is slightly poorly designed, but it is extremely readable.To be able to do this, I would say, is an indispensable talent for a novelist.

Anatole France's story collection "L'etui de nacre" (L'etui de nacre) vividly reflects his not outstanding, but delicate and sensitive talent.Although he was once highly regarded, he is now unfairly overlooked.
