This book is a collection of 144 prose extracts—74 are English originals—designed to develop French language skills. Compiled by Victor Spiers, a renowned French language scholar, each extract offers a variety of grammatical and idiomatic difficulties and comes with a Correct Version in the Key, making this book ideal for learners at various levels. The author’s intention in omitting Fair Copies for some of the pieces was to encourage students to work through the more challenging prose extracts. The selections are wide-ranging, covering philosophical, historical, literary, and descriptive pieces from notable authors such as Dickens, Carlyle, Ruskin, and Daudet.
