| | 1. |  | Therese (Twentieth-Century Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Customer Review:
Mauriac is a famous writer, after all he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. And yet, this book was rather a disappointment.

| | 2. |  | The Desert of Love
from Carroll & Graf Publishers
Customer Review:

| | 6. |  | A Mauriac Reader
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $25.81
Customer Review:
Setting aside for a moment Mauriac's religious beliefs (and it is fully possible to enjoy his work without sharing his Catholicism) Francois Mauriac was an amazingly skillful writer. His short novels are stylistically conservative-- a straightforward realism rules--and, as far as I know, always... more info
