A short and entertaining narrative of France from prehistory to the present, recounting the great events and personalities that helped create Frances cultural and political influence today.Country and destination, nation and idea, France has a rich and complex history that fascinates the world and attracts millions of visitors each year to its chateaux and cathedrals, boulevards and vineyards. In this succinct and entertaining volume, historian Jeremy Black narrates how Frances past has created its distinct character and powerful artistic, intellectual, and political influence across the globe.Black takes readers from the cave paintings of Lascaux and the origins of Gothic architecture, to Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and the Lumiere brothers, and even into the cataclysm of the 1789 revolution, the countercultural student protests of 1968, and the gilets jaunes (yellow vests) today. His account presents a vivid take on history that emphasizes the unexpected nature of events and unpredictable outcomes of a fragmented and crisisprone nation.In retelling Frances story, Black explores some of its most famous philosophy, literature, art, and architectureand ties them to the military, political, and cultural shifts that led to their development. With color illustrations, France is a short, easytodigest history of a vast subject, and a helpful guide to understanding France today. 24 color illustrations
