Because our Professor, Marie Odile Sweetser is a well known expert in French literature, especially in the seventeenth century. Most of the books we choissisons come from this time, although we had read many liiterature the following centuries until today when we read Hazard by Le Clézio. This ESR quite by chance we sonmmes reading "The Scribe". This is because we have not been able to find enough drafts of a book about Madame de Montespan of life. "The Scribe "is a book translated into French to Spanish. Thus booked, I find the book a great fun-" a good read ". Well written, the vocabulary is difficult enough but not too much and it goes fast. The author knows though the era of Charlemagne and he writes with great color and lowdown on morals. The surroundings and the people. I have not finished yet but I'm looking to find the time what happens with Theresa, Alcuin and Hoos . Most regis us (nine) are after the "age of being a pensioner. We meet at a time each monat home of us (there's a gentleman there who was a lawyer but now artist and not only reads very well french but made beautiful landscapes.) We all studied or french a university without being specialists in the subject or after because of our trips etc. We always talk about a kind of framcais war or write but not everything.
