Is it really possible to feel this way about France? I've never met a from who remotely had this attitude

The image in the OP suggests that he wants literature from France, rather than Francophone literature.

They're two different things.

My favourite short story so far is la maison tellier

>>24599158 (OP)
Flaubert
Charterhouse of Parma
Ballade des pendus
Mateo Falcone

The only good French books is Platform by Houellebecq. The rest are merde.

Wtf is a simple heart supposed to be?

Is it ok to get into French poetry through Baudelaire and Rimbaud? Where should I go after I've read through them?
I tried reading Hugo but one of the poems ended in a way that I struggle to appreciate
> Il me montra l’abîme où va toute poussière,
>Si profond que jamais un écho n’y répond,
>Et me dit : — Si tu veux, je bâtirai le pont.
>Vers ce pâle inconnu je levai ma paupière.
>— Quel est ton nom ? lui dis-je. Il me dit : — La prière.

Yeah I got nothin.

I like Three Musketeers and Maigret. The Centurions is on my reading list.

Anyone have any other good French swashbucklers, detective, spy, or war novels? Who is Frances equivalent of Le Carre? Who is their Raymond Chandler? Who is their Heinlein?

>>24599158 (OP)
SAAR I AM FRENCH NOT INDIAN SEE DIFFERENT PICTURE

I want to buy La Pléiades despite them being a waste of money

Simenon...fwr Cornwell wanted to be French ('Le Carré')

>>24605223
>swashbucklers
The Three Musketeers is the first part of a series of novels. In Lawrence Ellsworth's translations they are:
- The Three Musketeers
- The Red Sphinx
- Twenty Years After (Twenty Years After #1)
- Blood Royal (Twenty Years After #2)
- Between Two Kings (The Vicomte of Bragelonne #1)
- Court of Daggers (The Vicomte of Bragelonne #2)
- Devil’s Dance (The Vicomte of Bragelonne #3)
- Shadow of the Bastille (The Vicomte of Bragelonne #4)
- The Man in the Iron Mask (The Vicomte of Bragelonne #5)

>>24605284
I’ve finished 20 years after and I’m going to take a break from the series. There were bits and moments where 20 years after recaptured some of the humor and excitement of three musketeers but mostly it was a slog for me.

>>24605223
Have you tried Jean-Patrick Manchette?

>>24605312
I forgot he was on my to-read list. No room in the morgue will be the first I read. I read it’s a parody of Chandler.

>>24605318
Add 'Three to Kill' as well. It's not sold by NYRB but it's his best one imo.

Flaubert
Sentimental Education
Le Cygne
La Bourse
