Saith Stori o'r Ffrangeg - Wedi eu Cyfieithu - Henry Lewis - 1929 (Preloved)

Saith Stori o’r Ffrangeg (Seven French Stories) is a very rare and notable piece of Welsh publishing history. It was part of a specific movement in the early 20th century to modernize Welsh literature by importing European "high culture" and demonstrating that the Welsh language was a sophisticated vehicle for international masterpieces.

This captivating collection brings together seven iconic French short stories, masterfully translated into Welsh. From the intricate mysteries of the heart to sharp observations of 19th and 20th-century society, this volume bridges two rich European cultures, offering a reading experience that is both intimate and timeless.
