The book has similarities to both Cast Away and Lord of the Flies (I had totally forgotten about this book till you brought it up). Another possibility with Spring Tides is that Teddy has been in a coma during the entire book. It's been suggested ...

A new semester deserves new texts!

Welcome back! Fall semester is in full swing at UCONN, and we are excited for a new group of French Book Club members/ new students! This semester there will only be one section of Fren3270w, so outside participation is even more strongly encouraged than before! We will be reading all different texts and watching different films. This semester's reading list centers around satire and its use in French/ Francophone literature and film. We hope that you will share your opinions on these texts, on satire, and on anything else of interest!

Bonjour and Welcome!

Welcome to FREN3270W! This is a course that fulfills a general education requirement at UCONN. Students come from all sorts of majors and minors which is perhaps one of the course's greatest features. The goal of this class is to expose students to some French/Francophone literature texts that have been translated into English with the emphasis on student writing. However, even if you're not a student, feel free to read the books or view the films on our syllabi (or other French/Francophone texts and films!) and share your thoughts with us! Any and all Francophiles are welcome!

Our NING will take you on a journey through French/Francophone literature, culture, and civilization. We hope to share with you various information about certain authors who have shaped the French/Francophone literary world from the 16th century to the modern day.

Where in the world are you?
