FRANCE IN THE WORLD KARTONIERT (TB)

A fresh  provocative history that renews our understanding of France in the world through short
incisive essays ranging from prehistoric frescoes to Coco Chanel to the terrorist attacks of
2015. 'A major work  exhaustive  controversial and fresh' The Guardian Bringing together an
impressive group of established and up-and-coming historians  this bestselling history
conceives of France not as a fixed  rooted entity  but instead as a place and an idea in flux 
moving beyond all borders and frontiers  shaped by exchanges and mixtures. Presented in
chronological order from 34 000 BC to 2015  each chapter covers a significant year from its own
particular angle - the marriage of a Viking leader to a Carolingian princess proposed by
Charles the Fat in 882  the Persian embassy's reception at the court of Louis XIV in 1715  the
Chilean coup d'état against President Salvador Allende in 1973 that mobilised a generation of
French left-wing activists. France in the World combines the intellectual rigour of an academic
work with the liveliness and readability of popular history. With a brand-new preface aimed at
an international audience  this English-language edition will inspire Francophiles and scholars
alike.
