Every country has excellent literature, and France is no exception. A new type of literature appeared in 18th century France, called Romanticism. Romanticism was a revolt against the classic rules of literature at the time. While authors of this time were incredible at writing romantic plots full of antirational moments, they also had philosophical pretensions. 

From Honoré de Balzac's complex characters to Gustave Flaubert's realism, Guy de Maupassant's mastery of the short story and the historical fiction of Alexandre Dumas to the imaginative realism of Victor Hugo, this set combines some of the most celebrated classic French authors into one fantastic 5-volume set. Anyone looking to explore the evolution of French culture -- or simply looking for a good read -- is sure to find a new favorite in this collection.

Each book, published by Everyman’s Library, is wrapped in custom jackets that display the iconic painting “Liberty Leading the People” by Eugene Delacroix.

Customizing a Juniper Books Set

• We are thrilled to offer a customization option for (almost) every set that is available from Juniper Books. Customization is a great way to make a set one-of-a-kind for your collection, or to create the perfect gift.
• The entire process takes place here on junipercustom.com. The price you see on this page is for the book set on its own. As you add personalized flap text and/or a custom color, the price for those additional services will be added to the total price for your order when you press Add to Cart.
• If you would like to order multiple customized sets, please add them to your cart one at a time. The personalization options chosen will save with each book set.
• Once we receive your order, we will contact you if we have any questions. Otherwise, we will custom make your set. The process typically takes 1-2 weeks and you will receive a shipping notification when the books are on their way.
