Books and Authors Mentioned in The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

When I am reading, I tend to take note of books and authors referenced. In hopes of one day reading them, I always make a list in my notebook. Today I share with you references I found in The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah which I reviewed recently. 

1) Madame Bovery by Gustave Flaubert

When the novel was first serialized in La Revue de Paris between 1 October 1856 and 15 December 1856, public prosecutors attacked the novel for obscenity. The resulting trial in January 1857 made the story notorious. After Flaubert's acquittal on 7 February 1857, Madame Bovary became a bestseller in April 1857 when it was published in two volumes. A seminal work of literary realism, the novel is now considered Flaubert's masterpiece, and one of the most influential literary works in history. -Goodreads

2) Autant en Emporte Le Vent

In other words, Gone with the wind by Margaret Mitchell

3) Les Fleurs du Mal by Charles Baudelaire

In English it translates to ‘The Flower of Evil’. A Selection contains 53 poems which the editors feel best represent the total work and which. in their opinion, have been most successfully rendered into English. The French texts as established by Yves Gérard Le Dantec for the Pléiade edition are printed en face. Included are Baudelaire's "Three Drafts of a Preface" and brief notes on the nineteen translators whose work is represented.-From Goodreads
