Ridiculous list.

>Les Misérables as an essential French read
>not a single Greek or Roman
>"Shakespeare? Who?"
>no Divine Comedy or Orlando Furioso in sight

It's more like "Babby's Essentials".

I'm going to rise to this bait.

All the 17th, 18th, 19th century literature revised and re-wrote the Greek/Roman classics rendering them worthless.

Shakespeare is just Euripidies/Sophocles mixed with flea-ridden peasant English people.

and Le divine comedy meme?

So the Greeks are worthless because Shakespeare, but Shakespeare is worthless because the Greeks--conclusion: ditch them all?

Top b8 though.

Flaubert is probably the greatest french prose writer of all time. Have some respect.

Although he's certainly a master of prose, I don't like his style. Too processed, too much visible hard work, not enough natural ease. His letters are much more pleasant to read, although they're devoid of "art".

>Madam Bovary
>good

this is literally "i'll fill my book with pointless, irrelevant setting and item description"

he renders all possible symbolism with colors and whatnot impossible because of his ridiculous adjective game

>no Decameron
