France has invested a great deal of effort to offer French classics on
line... for free. Think of it as a huge digital library... available anywhere anytime... The only problem is, you will only find books
from before the 20th century. More recent novels are protected by copyrights.
So have a go at it... It's free!!!
For shorter texts, I would recommend Flaubert's Un Coeur Simple as well as short stories by Maupassant. Then move on to longer texts... Start with Balzac, continue with Victor Hugo and Emile Zola...
How to buy books in French and have them delivered at your door...
You can buy French books at the French price, plus shipping and handling.
You usually better off buying several books at the same time, to reduce
the price of shipping per book. Remember that prices are in Euros.
