Peau d'âne
This story was about a princess whose father’s wife had died. The wife had told him before she passed that he is only to remarry someone that was just like her. The King believed his daughter was the only one who fit that criteria. The princess’ godmother made her a dress out of multiple things, one being the hide off of a donkey. The princess was later known as Donkeyskin by the prince she fell in love with. The King also eventually remarried a widow.

Les raisins de la colère
Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression chronicles the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s and tells the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads—driven from their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised land of California. Out of their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of an America divided into Haves and Have-Nots evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity. A portrait of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, of one man’s fierce reaction to injustice, and of one woman’s stoical strength, the novel captures the horrors of the Great Depression and probes into the very nature of equality and justice in America. At once a naturalistic epic, captivity narrative, road novel, and transcendental gospel, Steinbeck’s powerful landmark novel is perhaps the most American of American Classics.
