Originally written to entertain, move or chill, the eight short stories in this collection accompanied by parallel English translations now also help students gain deeper insights into French literature and life. Arranged in approximate order of difficulty, the range of stories is wide, from the stylized wit of Raymond Queneau to the beautifully written ambiguities of Philippe Sollers, from Pierre Gascar's exploration of childhood as a background to a tale of infidelity to Henri Thomas' gentle, ironic look at war. All make wonderful reads in either language.

These eight stories, by leading French writers of this century, are accompanied by a parallel English text and explanations of the less familiar French phrases, making them valuable for both English students of French and French students of English.Among the diverse and entertaining stories in this collection is the wistful masterpiece Green Tobacco by Claire Sainte-Soline, the exuberant tales of The Ants by the post-war king of cafe society Boris Vian, and the lucid realism of writers such as C. F. Ramuz (The dead man's return) and Andre de Mandiargues (Sabine).Together the stories are a fascinating insight into the quality of French life and literature.
