The Prix Renaudot. It is an important award that also honors novels in France.
The Prix Alain - Fournier is another prize for novels in France. It focuses on novels that have a certain charm and depth, often highlighting works that might not be as mainstream but are of great literary value.
There is also the Prix des Deux Magots. It has been around for a while and is given to novels that stand out in terms of creativity and literary merit. This prize is part of the rich tapestry of French literary awards and contributes to the discovery and promotion of new and interesting novels.
One of the well - known prizes is the Prix Goncourt. It is highly prestigious in the French literary world for novels.
'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos is an epistolary novel. It's a complex web of letters between various characters, mainly the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont. Through these letters, a story of seduction, betrayal, and the corruption of the French aristocracy unfolds. It's a very dark and cynical view of society at that time.
Yes, in some local Christmas folktales, there might be kids like little Annie who helps Santa when his reindeer gets injured. But these are not as widely known as the main ones in classic Christmas stories.
The Bebop from 'Cowboy Bebop'. The name just has a cool, jazzy feel to it. It reflects the laid - back yet action - packed nature of the show. The ship is home to a group of bounty hunters, and the name Bebop gives it a sense of being a unique and somewhat off - beat place in the science - fiction world.
Another one is 'The Bride of Lammermoor'. It's a tragic story filled with elements of love, family, and fate. The characters are caught in a web of circumstances that lead to a heart - wrenching conclusion. Scott was masterful in creating an atmosphere that was both haunting and engaging. The novel also gives insights into the social norms and expectations of the time.
One is 'The Darling'. It's a complex story about a woman's journey through different political and personal landscapes. Another is 'Lost Memory of Skin', which is an interesting exploration of a young man's life on the fringes of society.
There's 'The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince'. It has a charming fairy - tale like story. The relationship between the two main characters is really interesting. 'A Plague Tale: Innocence' also has a strong narrative that could be related to visual novels. It has a dark and gritty story set in a plague - ridden world. And 'Ori and the Blind Forest' with its wordless storytelling but still manages to convey a deep and emotional story.
In 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee, there's no blatant birthday quote, but Scout's growth throughout the story can be tied to birthdays symbolically. As she ages, she learns important lessons about justice and humanity. Her journey is like the passing of birthdays, each one bringing new understanding. So in a way, the whole novel is about her growth which can be related to the concept of birthdays.
I'm not aware of any other widely used abbreviations for science fiction apart from 'sci - fi' and 'SF'.
Quotev can be a good app for fanfiction. It has a section dedicated to fan - created stories. There are also some smaller, more niche apps like Inkitt which may have some interesting fanfiction content. Dreame is another app that sometimes has fan - related stories.
