More Summer Reading?

Crime and Punishment...Russian Landowners...French Language...fashion among Polish Nobility during enlightenment/romantic period to speak and write in French brings me to:

The Saragossa Manuscript, Jan Potocki.

Romantic time, one of my favorites to read about - when men were men and women were beautiful, strong and wicked smaht. (see Jean Giono, Stendhal) Heck, modern feminists could learn a thing or two from the female protagonists of these stories.
