bonjour tout le monde!

Hi there, I am Eleonore. I am 25 and actually a scientist - so not working in literature or anything related but it has always been a passion of mine. I am French but I live in Scotland at the moment. Although I really love writing, I don't think I have any out of the ordinary talent, its just something that I like to do for myself. My favourite authors (there are so many!) are among others Jean Giraudoux, Jean Anouilh, Beagle and Maupassant. I'd say I am quite the classical type! But I am always on the lookout for new authors (one of the reasons I subscribed here).

Hi anemone and welcome.  I studied some French authors at school - Maupassant, Anouilh and some Gide - can't remember much about them except a creepy Maupassant short story called "sur l'eau" about some fishermen who find a body!

Thank you :) Yeah Maupassant's stories are always a bit grim / depressing ! But I still like them :D Bel-Ami for example is less macabre. But une vie is very sad too. It's all about how unfair life is for some people... Not something you want to read when you need cheering up!
