A wholly original history of France, filled with a lifetimes knowledge and passionby the author of the New York Times bestseller Parisians.Beginning with the Roman armys first recorded encounter with the Gauls and ending in the era of Emmanuel Macron, France takes readers on an endlessly entertaining journey through French history. Frequently hilarious, always surprising, Graham Robbs France combines the stylistic versatility of a novelist with the deep understanding of a scholar.Robbs own adventures and discoveries while living, working, and traveling in France connect this tour through space and time with ontheground experience. There are scenes of wars and revolutions from the plains of Provence to the slums and boulevards of Paris. Robb conveys with wit and precision what it felt like to look over the shoulder of a young Louis XIV as he planned the vast garden of Versailles, and the dangerous thrill of having a ringside seat at the French revolution. Some of the protagonists may be familiar, but appear here in a very different lightCaesar, Charlemagne, Louis XIV, Napoleon Bonaparte, General Charles de Gaulle.This extraordinary narrative is the fruit of decades of research and thirty thousand miles on a selfpropelled, twowheeled time machine (a bicycle). Even seasoned Francophiles will wonder if they really know that terra incognita on the edge of Europe that is currently referred to as France. 16 pages of illustrations; 16 maps
