French through Literature - Thursdays - Fall 2023, with Jean-Louis

Thursdays       6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

10 sessions of in-person classes with Jean-Louis

During the course of these sessions, you will get a taste of 19^th, 20^th and 21^st century French literature, with an interactive approach.

Jean-Louis will work on excerpts that he has carefully selected from 5 well known novels form this time period.

You will read the excerpts in class and discuss the plot and the main themes of the story. There will also be a short overview of the author’s life and the historic context in which the book has been created.

You will not have to read the entire novel for the class. Well… not unless you want to.

The course will also contain grammatical reminders and cultural vocabulary.

Our objective is to pass on to you our love for the French literature while helping you improve your linguistic skills.
