| 1. |  | The Discovery of France from W. W. Norton Price: $12.21 Customer Review:  Every page of this book yields unexpected and brilliant insights and sidelights into the motley collection of nationalities, languages, and races that somehow became France. The story of Bernadette of Lourdes. The creation of the "official" meter. The persecution of a particular group for a thousand... |

| 2. |  | Victor Hugo: A Biography from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $13.57 Customer Review:  Well-researched biography, maybe; however, I found Robb's patronizing tone towards his subject to be distasteful, offensive. A more objective account--without a lurking sneer behind it--is in order. |

| 3. |  | Rimbaud: A Biography from W. W. Norton & Company Customer Review:  I've never been into Rimbaud's poetry, but a friend suggested I read his biography by Graham Robb. I thought it was a wonderful book. I could barely put it down. Rimbaud's life was fascinating. From his life with Verlaine to his travels to Java and other intriguing places, Robb's book covers it... |

| 4. |  | The Toilers of the Sea (Modern Library Classics) from Modern Library Price: $12.76 Customer Review: Set on the island of Guernsey in the Channel Islands. The story is about a Guernseyman named Gilliatt, a social outcast who falls in love with Deruchette, the niece of a local ship owner, Mess Lethierry. In typical Victor Hugo style, if you can get past the beginning description of every rock,... |

| 5. |  | Balzac: A Biography from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $23.35 Customer Review: Graham Robb is an excellent writer, and, in both this and his Hugo biography, has shown he is a great lover of classical French literature. While the Hugo covered the author's life, and his times, this Balzac mostly looks at Honoré and what made him what he was. I would have liked to see more... |

| 6. |  | Strangers: Homosexual Love in the Nineteenth Century from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $14.35 Customer Review: Graham Robb's study of homosexual love in the nineteenth century, 'Strangers,' is a singularly ambitious work. Over the space of some 270 pages, the author explores themes as varied as the horrible legal oppression suffered by homosexuals in 19th century Europe to the blossoming of gay letters... |

| 9. |  | Unlocking Mallarme from Yale University Press Price: $55.00 Customer Review: The poetry of Stephane Mallarme, leader of the French Symbolist movement, has long been recognized for its beauty and difficulty, and a hundred years of subsequent critical studies have added much heat (and, sometimes, a little light) to its interpretation. Mallarme would be delighted, since his was... |

| 11. |  | Rimbaud from Picador Customer Review: Graham Robb has presented a biography of Ribauld that one intuitively recognizes as accurate and defining. The sense of the man is clearly conveyed in writing that often matches the work of Ribauld himself. Even though I will most likely never be able to fully appreciate Rimbauld's work myself,... |
