(2-CD set) French actress Marie-Christine Barrault reads Madame de SEVIGNE’s famous Letters – in French. Madame de Sévigné lived from 1626 to 1696. Her literary glory stems from the letters she wrote in her everyday life. These letters have been very popular even during her lifetime, and their publication initiated a vogue in the history of European literature. A kind of historian of her time and her entourage, the marchioness of Sevigné offers another insight to the history of the 17th century, and presents a subtle and feminine way of thinking about everyday life and self construction.
