I'm learning French at the moment and want to practice by reading some simpler poetry and short stories.
Can lit rec me anything that's good but not trop difficile à comprendre?
Jacques Prévert
Some XXth or XIXth century literature would surely be more appropriate,classical literature being far more difficult to read. Perhaps some short stories quite pleasing, simple but elegant and easily understandable would be Prosper Mérimée's ones. At least you can give it a try.
