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.
