Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perrault’s Stories: English & French THIS EDITION: The stories were originally written in French. The French text has been in large part translated anew into English for this dual-language project. Essentially, the stories have been rewritten in contemporary English from the original French. The emphasis is on attaining a high correlation between each set of text fragments. The dual-language text has been arranged into sub-paragraphs and paragraphs, for quick and easy cross-referencing. The reader can choose between four formats: Section 1: English to French Section 2: French to English Section 3: English Section 4: French A methodology for getting the most out of this bilingual format is explained in the book’s Foreword. BRIEF SYNOPSIS: This book is a collection of eight fairy tales that were originally published in 1697. The Grimm brothers rewrote many of these stories. However, in many ways they are remarkably different versions. The full title, as translated into English, is “Tales and Stories of the Past with Morals: Tales of Mother Goose.” The stories include: Sleeping Beauty in the Woods Cinderella Little Thumb Puss in Boots Riquet with the Tuft Blue Beard The Fairy Little Red Riding-Hood AUTHOR: Charles Perrault (1628 – 1703) is often times considered the founder of the modern fairy tale genre. Although, some of his stories follow themes from earlier authors, and he did not coin the phrase ‘fairy tale’. If you are having trouble with the level of difficulty in the text, a suggested path for learning languages is as follows: Familiarise yourself with a basic language instruction book — or re-read the one you have. Once a student has studied the basics, a suitable book about basic grammar can be helpful. The suggestion is that any grammar book be studied more with the intent of recognition and understanding, rather than memorising and obsessive rote learning. Go through as much of the grammar book you feel you can digest — maybe even the whole book — skipping over what is not easily understood. After this, read through a portion of text in a book called ‘French Sentences’, by 2LanguageBooks, looking for examples of what you have picked up (or gleaned) in your hopefully not so arduous study of grammar. Even repeatedly seeing a word that you remember seeing listed as a ‘subject pronoun’ or a ‘third person plural’ verb of some sort is a great help. Then, depending on your inclination, return to the grammar book (or your basic French book), or move on to lengthier bilingual text — like in 2Language Books texts containing conversations, news, or stories, for example —, or find some suitable French text: a simple novel, a French news website, etc. Grammar books will likely have some verb charts. However, there are currently good on-line resources that go further — dictionaries with a verb conjugation ‘search’ option. Many basic language books offer some form of audio support. Internet services — primarily news based radio stations — offer podcasts. Audio from television is an additional resource, and can be formatted for use on various digital platforms. However, if audio is an important component of your interest in languages, electronic devices that support quality text-to-speech (TTS) will likely be appealing. With a library card, TTS technology (in a device that supports the relevant content), and the above mentioned resources, an entire language learning system is available for not much more than a cup of coffee! There is no substantial financial outlay to get you started. Furthermore, there are no additional ongoing fees (and updates), and there are no expiry dates on ‘premium’ content and resources.

Download or read book A Short Course in Reading French written by Celia Brickman and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012-12-04 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook teaches the basics of French grammar, reinforcing its lessons with exercises and key practice translations. A systematic guide, the volume is a critical companion for university-level students learning to read and translate written French into English; for graduate scholars learning to do research in French or prepping for proficiency exams; and for any interested readers who want to improve their facility with the French language. In addition, A Short Course in Reading French exposes readers to a broad range of French texts from the humanities and social sciences, including writings by distinguished francophone authors from around the world. The book begins with French pronunciation and cognates and moves through nouns, articles, and prepositions; verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; a graduated presentation of all the indicative and subjunctive tenses; object, relative, and other pronouns; the passive voice; common idiomatic constructions; and other fundamental building blocks of the French language. Chapters contain translation passages from such authors as Pascal, Montesquieu, Proust, Sartre, Bourdieu, Senghor, Césaire, de Certeau, de Beauvoir, Barthes, and Kristeva. Drawn from more than two decades of experience teaching French to students from academic and nonacademic backgrounds, Celia Brickman's clear, accessible, and time-tested format enables even beginners to develop a sophisticated grasp of the language and become adept readers of French. There is an answer key for translation exercises and for non-copyrighted translation passages available to professors and teachers who have assigned this title in a class. Please provide your name, title, institution, and number of students in the course in an email to [email protected].
Download or read book The Fairy Tale Vanguard written by Stijn Praet and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since its early modern inception as a literary genre unto its own, the fairy tale has frequently provided authors with a textual space in which to reflect on the nature, status and function of their own writing and that of literature in general. At the same time, it has served as an ideal laboratory for exploring and experimenting with the boundaries of literary convention and propriety. While scholarship pertaining to these phenomena has focused primarily on the fairy-tale adaptations and deconstructions of postmodern(ist) writers, this essay collection adopts a more diachronic approach. It offers fairy-tale scholars and students a series of theoretical and literary-historical expositions, as well as case studies on English, French, German, Swedish, Danish, and Romanian texts from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century, by authors as diverse as Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy, Rikki Ducornet, Hans Christian Andersen and Robert Coover.

This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÊOn a Žmis sur le personnage fameux, vulgairement nommŽ la Barbe-Bleue, les opinions les plus diverses, les plus Žtranges et les plus fausses. Il nÕen est peut-�tre pas de moins soutenable que celle qui fait de ce gentilhomme une personnification du soleil. CÕest ˆ quoi lÕon sÕest appliquŽ il y a une quarantaine dÕannŽes dans une certaine Žcole de mythologie comparŽe. On y enseignait que les sept femmes de la Barbe-Bleue Žtaient des aurores et ses deux beaux-fr�res les deux crŽpuscules du matin et du soir, identiques aux Dioscures qui dŽlivr�rent HŽl�ne ravie par ThŽsŽe. A ceux qui seraient tentŽs de le croire, il faut rappeler quÕun savant bibliothŽcaire dÕAgen, Jean-Baptiste PŽr�s, dŽmontra, en 1817, dÕune fa�on tr�s spŽcieuse, que NapolŽon nÕavait jamais existŽ et que lÕhistoire de ce prŽtendu grand capitaine nÕŽtait quÕun mythe solaire. En dŽpit des jeux dÕesprit les plus ingŽnieux, on ne saurait douter que la Barbe-Bleue et NapolŽon nÕaient rŽellement existŽ. Une hypoth�se qui nÕest pas mieux fondŽe consiste ˆ identifier cette Barbe-Bleue avec le marŽchal de Rais, qui fut ŽtranglŽ par justice au dessus des ponts de Nantes, le 26 octobre 1440. Sans rechercher avec M. Salomon Reinach si le marŽchal commit tous les crimes pour lesquels il fut condamnŽ ou si ses richesses, convoitŽes par un prince avide, ne contribu�rent point ˆ sa perte, rien dans sa vie ne ressemble ˆ ce quÕon trouve dans celle de la Barbe-Bleue ; cÕen est assez pour ne pas les confondre et pour ne pas faire de lÕun et de lÕautre un seul personnage. Charles Perrault qui, vers 1660, eut le mŽrite de composer la premi�re biographie de ce seigneur justement remarquable pour avoir ŽpousŽ sept femmes, en fit un scŽlŽrat accompli et le plus parfait mod�le de cruautŽ quÕil y ežt au monde. Mais il est permis de douter, sinon de sa bonne foi, du moins de la sžretŽ de ses informations. Il a pu �tre prŽvenu contre son personnage. Ce ne serait pas le premier exemple dÕun historien ou dÕun po�te qui se pla”t ˆ assombrir ses peintures. Si nous avons de Titus un portrait qui semble flattŽ, il parait, au contraire, que Tacite a beaucoup noirci Tib�re. Macbeth, que la lŽgende et Shakespeare chargent de crimes, Žtait en rŽalitŽ un roi juste et sage. Il nÕassassina point par trahison le vieux roi Duncan. Duncan, jeune encore, fut dŽfait dans une grande bataille et trouvŽ mort le lendemain en un lieu nomme la Boutique de lÕArmurier. Ce roi avait fait pŽrir plusieurs parents de Gruchno, femme de Macbeth.
