About ‘Ulysses’ and ‘The Odyssey’

Two years ago, I read Ulysses for the first time. Last semester, I did a course on this incredible book and I reread it.

About ‘Spiridion’ by George Sand

As some of my readers might know, I love nineteenth-century French literature. So when Patricia Worth contacted me if I wanted to review her new translation of George Sand’s Spiridion, I was very excited. I have wanted to read something by Sand for quite some while now.
