Hi guys! So this video has been giving me a lot of trouble, and it is like, three months late. So I apologize for the few that were waiting for it! First it was the webcam (I only use a webcam so far so I also apologize for the bad lighting, the squinting because of the sun in my face, and the sound … I’m sure when I’m totally comfortable with videos I’ll get better video-making tools) and then the computer, and then the software, and finally my Internet was cut off for two months. All in all, it was a huge mess. For those of you who will notice, yes, my French accent is really strong in this video. I blame it on three months with my super-French mom. But it is here, and I hope you’ll enjoy it! Here is the list of books I’m presenting to you, and the links to the categories: CLASSICS - https://youtu.be/8Z1aU-F7n4Y?t=28 Les Trois Mousquetaires / The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas Le dernier jour d’un condamné / The Last Day of a Condemned Man by Victor Hugo Le Rouge et Noir / The Red and the Black, by Stendhal Les Liaisons Dangereuses / Dangerous Liaisons, by Choderlos de Laclos Bel Ami, by Guy De Maupassant THEATER - https://youtu.be/8Z1aU-F7n4Y?t=364 Le Malade Imaginaire / The Imaginary Invalid (not sick person!) L’Avare / The Miser, by Molière Phèdre, by Jean Racine Les Fausses Confidences, by Pierre Marivaux Antigone, by Jean Anouilh Rhinocéros / Rhinoceros, by Eugène Ionesco BONUS : On ne badine pas avec l’amour, Alfred de Musset POETRY - https://youtu.be/8Z1aU-F7n4Y?t=940 Les Fleurs du Mal / The Flowers of Evil, by Charles Baudelaire Le Bateau Ivre / The Drunken Boat, by Arthur Rimbaud (also mentioned : Verlaine, other poet, and Roman / Romance, poem). Alcools by Guillaume Appollinaire Poésie ininterrompue (not Encres, sorry!), by Paul Eluard (also recommended : “Les Mains Libres”, in collaboration with Man Ray) Encres, by Alain Borne CONTEMPORARY - https://youtu.be/8Z1aU-F7n4Y?t=1278 Ensemble, c’est tout / Hunting and Gathering, by Anna Gavalda L’Elégance du Hérisson / The Elegance of the Hedgehog, by Muriel Barber Seras-tu là ? / Will you be there ? by Guillaume Musso (also recommended: Parce que je t’aime / Lost and Found) La Prochaine Fois / In Another Life, by Marc Lévy A la Recherche du Temps Perdu / In Search of the Lost Time, by Marcel Proust YOUTH - https://youtu.be/8Z1aU-F7n4Y Phænomen, by Erik L’Homme Tara Duncan, by Sophie Audouin-Mamikonian La Quête d’Ewilan / Ewilan’s Quest, by Pierre Bottero. From the same author, in the same world : Ewilan’s Quest sequel: Ewilan’s World The Marchombre’s Pact The Other Crossed Souls The Song of The Troll We, fans, have very specific opinions about the order you should read them in… If you want mine, I’ll be glad to tell you! A comme Association, by Pierre Bottero & Erik L’Homme Kids Bonus One: Les Histoires Pressées by Bernard Friot There was supposed to be a children’s books & comic strips part but the video was quite long and I didn’t have everything I wanted so I will come back with a special video for French Comic Strips soon, French Children Classics. I should also see you very soon (hopefully!) for a few reviews, and a game! Thank you so much for watching this video! Ps : I'm looking for a much better software to edit the videos, since so far I've been only working with one that comes with Windows and the Youtube editor. If any of you have good free recommendations I would love to hear them!
