A la Découverte de Jean de la Fontaine
Alternate Title: A la Decouverte de Jean de la Fontaine
Description:
There is perhaps no better way to learn a language than to jump into its literature. But where to start? Thousands have begun their journey into French via the sayings of the La Fontaine, whose wit and wisdom are contained and expressed in very short phrases or quotations. Usually easy to read but harder to understand, LaFontaine's sayings, though several centuries old, are still worth reading today, as just as instructive as they were when they were first published. Visitors to the site can find a wealth of information on the writer, his times and those who promote the study of both. If you really like what you read you can even subscribe to a service that will send you a quote a day via email.
