Selected French Prose
Literature法兰西散文精选
Cheng Yirong
"Selected French Prose" selects about 200 essays by 25 famous writers including Montaigne, Rousseau, and Chateaubriand. The humanistic spirit of French prose runs throughout this book. The author is concerned about human emotions and human destiny. Michelet among them, even in those exquisite proses that use birds, insects, mountains, and oceans as description objects, he also expresses his tenderness for human beings. Saint-Exupéry's concern for ordinary people and his pursuit of beautiful ideals in his works are touching. On the one hand, French prose adopts an attitude of examination and criticism towards real life; on the other hand, it has high aspirations and regards the pursuit of freedom and beautiful ideals as its own responsibility. La Bruyère's critique of society was direct.
