Welcome to Litsy!

Now I like this song, it is about the end of the world and society. The government is called the werewolf here. How appropriate for today. #HauntsandHexes @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Werewolf
The Werewolf by Paul Simon

An 1885 French novel suggested by a friend about an opportunistic young man hustling his way through life in France eventually profiting from the war in Morocco. Very lengthy as novels at that time were.

I found this one as an ebook and as I haven't seen the movie, I thought I should give it a try. It turned out to be just as captivating as a film. The prose is soft and beautiful and produces so many different emotions. In 19th century traditional French countryside, we see how women's lack of choice led to the decline of an aristocratic lady who can't but remain passive while her life progressively worsens.

I'm about to read a novel with a female protagonist, and the entire introduction is all about what a manly man the author is. From a long line of manly men even. Robust, masculine, sober style and virile impartiality, vigorous language. He was a soldier too. I don't know... Was Gosse trying to reassure male readers that their masculinity would not be harmed by reading a French book about a woman? 😆

Starting this one which has been on my #TBR for years! At least pandemic helps me get through some of my stacks at home!😏
