Cover of Bouvard et Pécuchet

Bouvard et Pécuchet

Gustave Flaubert

Comme il faisait une chaleur de 33 degres, le boulevard Bourdon se trouvait absolument desert. Plus bas le canal Saint-Martin, ferme par les deux ecluses etalait en ligne droite son eau couleur d'encre. Il y avait au milieu, un bateau plein de bois, et sur la berge deux rangs de barriques. Au dela du canal, entre les maisons que separent des chantiers le grand ciel pur se decoupait en plaques d'outremer, et sous la reverberation du soleil, les facades blanches, les toits d'ardoises, les quais de granit eblouissaient. Une rumeur confuse montait du loin dans l'atmosphere tiede ; et tout semblait engourdi par le desoeuvrement du dimanche et la tristesse des jours d'ete. Deux hommes parurent. L'un venait de la Bastille, l'autre du Jardin des Plantes. Le plus grand, vetu de toile, marchait le chapeau en arriere, le gilet deboutonne et sa cravate a la main. Le plus petit, dont le corps disparaissait dans une redingote marron, baissait la tete sous une casquette a visiere pointue.

La strada che va in città

Natalia Ginzburg

"The Road to the City" and "The Dry Heart." Each is narrated by a young woman who is in some way betrayed by, or the betrayer of, romantic love. In her inimitable, spare, and understated style, Ginzburg--the minimalist--manages to express extraordinary passions, disappointments, and truths of the heart. With a masterful understanding of the human, and particularly female, psyche, Ginzburg turns her meticulous and understated tales into rich, funny, profound, and psychologically gripping landscapes of the human heart.
