Lord of the Gap


A graded reader to get me reading and absorbing more french - Arthur Bernéde's 1927 Polar.

As usual I enjoy the feel of moving across familiar phrases in french but quickly lose the thread of the plot.

So looking on-line to cheat a bit on the story I find that a belphégor is a demon who helps people making discoveries.

His name 'the lord of the gap' makes him, for me, a strangely symbolic language learning companion.
