Features: Marguerite Yourcenar is a renowned modern French female writer. This book collects her major works, where her writings are always filled with themes of the concrete and the abstract, the individual and the universal, the immediate and the eternal. Reading this book allows you to fully appreciate the style of a famous literary figure. Madam! It is a great honor for me to welcome you in this ancient and celebrated building where you are now. Here, of course, you are not an academician, but you are a female academician. This is a vivid and peaceful revolution, in which you yourself constitute one of the most significant events in the long and glorious history. Madam, I should not hide from you that the reason you are here today is not because you are a woman, but because you are a great writer. May it be wished that all the men we have elected over the past 350 years possess the broad talent of a woman like you.
