«Douze nouvelles contemporaines» is the anthology of twelve short stories by various authors, published by Belin/Gallimard in paperback (160 pages, in French).
With a tone combining criticism and satire, twelve stories with a twist ending portray today's men and women with a serious and humorous eye; the tales interrogate twentieth-century history and denounce the excesses of contemporary society.
School edition from the Classico Collège collection with a pedagogical dossier by Virginie Manouguian, including questionnaires, exercises, oral and digital activities, and an interview with Pascal Mérigeau.
Aimed at secondary school students in France (cycle 4, 3e), especially for working on the theme of denouncing society's flaws.
Fredric Brown was an American science fiction, fantasy, and mystery writer. He is known for his use of humor and for his mastery of the "short short" form—stories of one to three pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. Humor and a postmodern outlook carried over into his novels as well. One of his stories, "Arena", was adapted into a 1967 episode of the American television series Star Trek.
