There is a veritable smorgasbord of fantastic and very well-known French literature. The best known ones, and thus the easiest to find information on in the case of a school project or similar, are as follows (names of some well-known works, but not all, follow):

Honoré de Balzac (1799 - 1850) - La Comedie Humaine

Albert Camus (1913-1960) - L'ètranger, The Plague, The Fall, A Happy Death, The First Man

Colette (1873-1954) - Gigi, Cheri

Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) - The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, The Nutcracker, The Vicomte de Bragelonne

Denis Diderot (1713-1784) - Jacques the Fatalist

Alphonse Daudet (1840-1897) - Le Petit Chose, Tartarin de Tarascon

Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) - Madame Bovary

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) - The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Les Misérables

Marcel Proust (1871-1922) - Remembrance of Things Past

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) - Discourse on Inequality, The Social Contract

Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) - No Exit, The Words, The Flies, Being and Nothingness

Gertrude Stein* (1874-1946) - Three Lives, The Making of Americans, How to Write
