Summary: Magnifique!
Comment: AU CONTRAIRE is a joy to read, and informative. Having read
books by Polly Platt on French culture, I would rate this
book as "creme brulee" to Polly's "jello." Luscious detail here,
and historical perspective. I've lived in France for a number of years, and everything contained in this book is accurate and in depth. Bravo to Asselin and Mastron for their major contribution to deciphering the French culture.
Rating: 5
Summary: The Insider's Look
Comment: Au Contraire is more than a book on France, the French language, or a trifle on French "something." This book touches the essence of what it means to be French. The behind-the-scene look at the history, symbols, language, and customs is truly intriguing. The analyzation of such things as interpersonal relations, socialism, education, and other elements of French life is a treasure for the person who desires to live in France, if for only a short time. One of the most remarkable things about the book is the emphasis showing the inseperability between the language and the land: Being French is speaking the langauge, and don't forget it! It's a must for expats of any sort. I read the hefty book in a matter of days. It's just that good.
Rating: 5
Summary: THIS BOOK DESERVES SIX STARS!
Comment: This book was insightful, rich, honest, and interesting. I could not put it down! This book is definetly worth buying, even if you are not interested in the french particularly. As someone with a french background, and french grandparents, this book makes me appreciate my heritage just a little more.
