Mes points de vie

French literature in Reclams Red Series: this is the original French text – unabridged and unedited with word explanations at the bottom of each page, a postscript, and literary references. Three novellas, sensitively depicted everyday stories that showcase Anna Gavalda at the height of her storytelling craft, connecting to her bestseller "Je voudrais que quelqu’un m’attende quelque part": In "Mon chien va mourir," it’s about a truck driver who has to bury his dog, a long-time companion who has grown dear to him during his travels. "Happy Meal" is a short and highly amusing story about a visit to a MacDo restaurant – with a surprising ending. And "Mes points de vie" tells the story of a civil engineer who is called to his six-year-old son's elementary school due to a misstep and must intervene to mediate. French reading: Level B1 – B2 (GER).
