>>25535763Bovary is one of the best representations of the contemporary female reader.
The quality of art is defined not by its content but by its form. Flaubert profoundly expressed boredom with profundity, while Dumas express profundity through boredom. You've been filtered at a fundamental level.

>>25535807Random ones I enjoyed, one for each century:11th Century: Song of Roland12th Century: Arthurian Romances13th Century: Romance of the Rose14th Century: Froissart's Chronicles15th Century: Comines' Memoirs16th Century: Gargantua and Pantagruel17th Century: Phedre18th Century: Dangerous Liaisons19th Century: The Red and The Black20th Century: Aurelien21st Century: Elementary ParticlesOtherwise just read whatever everyone mentions here to start off with, like Madame Bovary. I'd recommend French memoirs in general, I think they're the country with the richest tradition in that department. From Saint-Simon, to Rousseau, to Casanova (he wrote in French), to Chateaubriand...I am going out now bye
