My newest Signets ❤️! I planned on posting for #frenchlitfriday today and #signetsaturday tomorrow but I mixed up the backgrounds so I'm posing them on the wrong days. Stay tuned tomorrow for my actual #frenchlitfriday post. ~ #oldgoriot #balzac #johnohara #chekhov #ibsen https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Yz_VTg4Oj/?igshid=187k89dcthka5

et rose, elle a vécu ce que vivent les roses, l'espace d'un matin

Honoré de Balzac

"Père Goriot” is the work by Honoré de Balzac, originally published in French in the Revue de Paris in 1834 and published in book form in 1835. It is the tragic story that’s set against the background of a whole society driven by social ambition and lust for wealth: http://bit.ly/Père_Goriot

First time reading Balzac, and I enjoyed it... Not has good as Alexandre Dumas but still good. #vscocam#vsco#vscoedit#balzac#honeredebalzac#frenchnovels#oldgoriot#peregoriot#penguinclassics#penguinbook#book#read#readmore

'What do all women seek? Is it happiness?' he went on in soul-stirring tones. 'If happiness for a woman consists in being loved, adored, in having a friend to whom she can confide her desires and her fancies, her sorrows and her joys, to whom she can lay bare her soul with all its engaging faults and noble virtues and have no fear of being betrayed, believe me you can only find an unfailingly devoted ardent heart in a man whose youthful ideals are still untarnished, who would go to his death at a sign from you, who knows nothing yet of the world, and desires to know nothing, because you will be all the world to him.'

Old Goriot par Honoré de Balzac

"The execution of his plans was sure to be marred by the hesitancy that seizes on the youth when youth sees itself alone in a wide sea, uncertain how to spend its energies, whither to steer its course, how to adapt its sails to the wind" Balzac

*** 2018 READING GOALS UPDATE *** 📖 In January I set myself three goals for the year: 1. Read one book from this stack each month 2. Finish my unread Steinbecks 3. Get my TBR under control (from 151 to 75) 📖 Soooooo: 📖 1. I read 8/12 of the books picture here (I didn't get around to: Andersen, Leopardi, Doctor Faustus, or Grande Sertão) 2. I read only 3/8 of the Steinbecks on my shelf 3. I currently have 131 unread books on my shelves (#tacklestack and #theunreadshelfproject2018 fails 😞) 📖 I did read 104 books this year, so I don't bad. A bit of progress was made, just not even close to what I'd hoped for. Here's to setting the bar low in 2019! 🍻 . . . . . #readinggoals #bookstagram #bibliophile #igreads #met_createchange #culturetripbooks #bookstack #thepossessed #dostoyevsky #balzac #oldgoriot #guntergrass #thetindrum #giacomoleopardi #grandesertao #joaoguimaraesrosa #thegoldfinch #donnatartt #themanwithoutqualities #robertmusil #wethedrowned #carstenjensen #doctorfaustus #thomasmann #theiliad #homer #samuelbeckett #hanschristianandersen https://www.instagram.com/p/BrkjHYPHAsC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kt8hotuhezdy

*** READING GOALS 2018 *** Three goals this year: 1. Read one book from this stack each month. 2. Finish my unread Steinbecks. 3. Get my TBR under control. I actually have no more physical space for books in my appartment. So I'm joining @lei_in_japan with #tacklestack (I'm going to try to read 5 books for every book I buy for the rest of the year) and joining @theunreadshelf with #theunreadshelfproject2018. I counted and have 151 unread books on my shelf, so I'm hoping to get it down to 75 by next year. . . . . . #readinggoals #bookstagram #bibliophile #igreads #met_createchange #culturetripbooks #bookstack #thepossessed #dostoyevsky #balzac #oldgoriot #guntergrass #thetindrum #giacomoleopardi #grandesertao #joaoguimaraesrosa #thegoldfinch #donnatartt #themanwithoutqualities #robertmusil #wethedrowned #carstenjensen #doctorfaustus #thomasmann #theiliad #homer #samuelbeckett #hanschristianandersen
