Summary "Contes Français" by Douglas Labaree Buffum is a collection of French short stories edited with notes and vocabulary, probably prepared in the late 19th century. This anthology features works by notable authors from the 19th century and aims to blend literary merit with a wide vocabulary and engaging subject matter, making it useful for students of the French language. The opening of the book includes a preface detailing the editor's intentions and the selection process of the stories, emphasizing their variety and literary value. The stories included feature a wide range of themes, including military life in “L’enlèvement de la Redoute” by Mérimée, where a young officer reflects on courage and the chaos of battle, while Maupassant's tales delve into human emotions and perspectives on life. Additionally, the stories are accompanied by notes and a vocabulary section, enhancing their usability for students. The editor's approach indicates that this collection not only serves as a literary resource but also as a didactic tool for those learning French. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
