Le Bal des Folles - Classiques et Contemporains

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.00
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Dans le Paris de l'hiver 1885, les patientes de la Salpêtrière se préparent pour le grand événement de l'année : le « bal des folles », organisé par le professeur Charcot, qui convie à cette occasion la bonne société parisienne, avide de curiosité à l'égard des aliénées. Mais ces « folles » ne sont pas toutes si malades que l'on croit, et derrière ce terme se cache une réalité sociale qui condamne les femmes les plus indépendantes d'esprit en les privant de liberté. Ce roman, récompensé par plusieurs prix littéraires, notamment le prix Renaudot des lycéens, et adapté au cinéma, s'inscrit dans les programmes de 2de, 1re et Tle et permet d'aborder la question de la folie et son traitement médical au XIXe siècle, ainsi que la condition des femmes et les entraves à leur émancipation. Niveaux et objets d'étude : 2de et 1re : Le roman et le récit Tle : Spécialité « Humanités, littérature et philosophie »
