Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Autour de la litterature is an outstanding text--innovative, exciting, and pedagogical--and it is easy to see why it works so well at the intermediate level as an initiation into French and Francophone literature. It features a great selection of readings and uses a common-sensical critical approach."
"The book has worked well because it is complete and easy to use. I have used it as a reader along with a grammar textbook and workbook."
"…there is a lot of choice, a variety of genres (poetry, film, plays, prose), and it provides an excellent intro to literary analysis. Students can go directly from using Autour in the 3rd and 4th semester to an Intro to literature class and be confident that they are well-prepared."
"Exercises and activities are] both challenging and stimulating. They have just the right approach for this level, and they provide ample opportunity for creativity. At the same time, they guide the students towards a more in-depth familiarity with what happens in the story… thus making them better readers while at the same time encouraging them to think critically and/or creatively." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Could Be Better,
By Angela Leigh "Ana" (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Autour de la litterature: Ecriture et lecture aux cours moyens de français (with Audio CD) (Paperback)
I needed this book for a college level class and I feel that as textbooks go there are definitely better and clearer ones out there. I felt like I had to struggle to understand a lot of the poetry and the stories. I had to keep a French/English dictionary fairly close by at all times. It could have been the class and the professor (both of which I didn't care much for either) but I really struggled in this French class to make sense of the lessons.
Also, it's a fairly expensive book and you don't get too much out of it. The CD is great to listen along with to help with your speaking, but really it's just reading some of the poems in the book. If you're buying this on your own I'd suggest you keep looking for something that will help you individually. If you, like me, are using it for class buy it used or rent it. This isn't anything that I'm ever going to pick up again and thumb through. In fact, I believe I sold it back to the store.

When the post office sent back the book I purchased from FascinatingDeals, the people at the company were not only very nice to me, but they also sent it to me again at no extra shipping charge! I would highly recommend buying a product from them as their customer service is impeccable and their delivery is speedy. Thanks, FascinatingDeals!

Subpar,

This review is from: Autour de la litterature: Ecriture et lecture aux cours moyens de français (with Audio CD) (Paperback)
For a french textbook this one leaves much to be desired. Some practice questions and context on the pieces of work found within.
