- Litterature Audio
http://www.litteratureaudio.com/
This is a terrific site for advanced learners who would like to download audio books in French.
There are over 1000 titles (Zola, Balzac, Hugo, etc. which you can download to your computer,
MP3 player, etc. and they're all free. There are also English-language writers that have been
translated into French and I saw one item for George Washington in English. To explore!
- Gallica Classique
http://gallica.bnf.fr/classique/
" A la fin du XIXe siècle, la Bibliothèque nationale diffusait à l'intention de tous les
lecteurs francophones une collection des écrivains classiques. A la veille de l'an 2000, à l'heure
des hypermédias, la BnF renouvelle cette initiative en mettant à la disposition d'un public plus
large encore, celui de l'Internet, les oeuvres des auteurs que l'histoire littéraire a consacrés
comme les "grands écrivains de la France".
Avec plus d'un millier de volumes, choisis parmi les 86.000 ouvrages de la bibliothèque numérique
de la BnF, Gallica "Classique" offre une première esquisse de ce que sera à terme la bibliothèque
de référence de Gallica.
Gallica "Classique" est une collection du site Gallica. Cette sélection permet un accès direct
aux textes fondateurs de la littérature française ainsi qu'une appropriation rapide. Conçu
tant pour les lycéens et les étudiants que pour les professeurs, les chercheurs ou les curieux,
ce site propose des outils de recherche et de navigation (chronologies, listes de sites) ainsi
qu'un mode d'emploi. Les documents y sont disponibles, comme dans Gallica, en mode image et/ou
en mode texte.
Avec cette nouvelle collection, Gallica, jusqu'à présent consacré au XIXe siècle francophone,
s'ouvre à la littérature française, depuis le moyen âge jusqu'à la veille de 1914.
