Zeigt Titel in Frankreich

Este livro é um resumo produzido a partir da obra original. Da receita do cassoulet, que venceu uma guerra, até o crepe, que derrotou Napoleão; das revoltas provocadas por pão e sal até as novas culinárias forjadas pelo Império, a história da França está estreitamente ligada a aventuras gastronômicas. Por meio de uma investigação espirituosa dos fatos e lendas que envolvem alguns dos pratos e vinhos franceses mais populares, A Deliciosa História da Françanos conta a intrigante, e muitas vezes surpreendente, história da França desde a era romana até os tempos modernos.

Jacques Bainville, historien éminent de l'Académie Française, nous raconte ici de façon claire et succincte la grande Histoire de son pays.

Bien au contraire, l'histoire de la France est pétrie de complexité, d'évènements interconnectés que son talent arrive à mettre en perspective de façon à la rendre compréhensible. Car cet ouvrage d'une grande qualité est avant toute chose accessible au grand public.

This famous treatise began as a letter to a young French friend who asked Edmund Burke’s opinion on whether France’s new ruling class would succeed in creating a better order.

The Enlightenment is looked upon fondly, and it serves to reinforce the notion that the present is superior to the past, but things did not change as rapidly or as completely as many believe. In fact, some recent historians have challenged the belief that the Enlightenment was responsible for the French Revolution, which is a vital issue when it comes to Voltaire.
