This is Balzac’s work L'Amour Masque , with the original written manuscript a present for Duchess de Dino, a friend and admirer. For more than half a century it remained in her family’s possession, until it was discovered and published.

We have added an interlinear translation to the French text. This means that the meaning of every French word is immediately accessible, which in turn will make it much easier for you to expand your French vocabulary fast.

How to learn French with this bookUse the following method to learn French vocabulary fast and easy. Read the stories and re-read them until you know almost all the words. This is a fast process because there’s no lookup time.

Then focus on the remaining words that you still don’t know by marking those in the text or noting their pages. Because of the literal and idiomatic interlinear text this is the best way to learn French reading fast.
