"Surtout, Damas comptait de fabuleux jardins. cet art, poussé à l'extrême de son raffinement, me parut être, autant que l'architecture, le signe d'une haute civilisation."
Ohh how I love how nrf books look, they're so so pretty. Love the book title and quote too... I'm (re)reading Madame Bovary at the moment and marking all my favorite quotes too :) Happy reading...
There are some interesting descriptions of Syria in the book - if you only think about what is going on there at the moment... I find History is a cruel term of comparison. You are brave to re-read Madame Bovary! This is one of the books I really had trouble finishing - then again it was probably because I HAD TO - school assignment. I should probably follow your example!
