## Description

Buy French short stories: Nouvelles Francaises (New Penguin Parallel Text Series) Bilingual by Richard Coward (ISBN: 8601404397479) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: SO HELPFUL! - It's good to read great literature in another language and have the English translation to hand when you get stuck.
Review: A big help to the budding linguist. - Not only are the translations idiomatic (with only very occasional exceptions) but the stories are well-chosen to be interesting in themselves, and not just a dry exercise in grammar and vocabulary. I learned a lot, even after many years of chatting in French, largely because words came up that I rarely encounter in small talk, or imagine (wrongly) that I have understood! I can recommend this book to any anglophone or francophone individual wishing to hone their language skills.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SO HELPFUL!
*by S***. on 29 December 2025*

It's good to read great literature in another language and have the English translation to hand when you get stuck.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A big help to the budding linguist.
*by H***S on 30 December 2019*

Not only are the translations idiomatic (with only very occasional exceptions) but the stories are well-chosen to be interesting in themselves, and not just a dry exercise in grammar and vocabulary. I learned a lot, even after many years of chatting in French, largely because words came up that I rarely encounter in small talk, or imagine (wrongly) that I have understood! I can recommend this book to any anglophone or francophone individual wishing to hone their language skills.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Varied selection, with different levels of difficulty.
*by C***S on 20 August 2024*

Liked these stories. Varied in length and style. Good way of learning new vocab and, in particular, new idioms.
