Six contes moraux

"Years before Eric Rohmer turned to filmmaking, he wrote his famed Six Moral Tales in book form. Stripped-down and incisive, these stories anticipate the literary quality of the cinematic works they would ultimately become. Both a primer for Rohmer's brilliant career and a series of perceptive character studies in their own right. Rohmer's collection Six Moral Tales speaks eloquently of a great cinematic legacy"--Cover, p. 4.
