Narrated by John Julius Norwich

A witty approach to 2,000 years of French history from legendary popular historian John Julius Norwich.
I can still feel, as if it were yesterday, the excitement of my first Channel crossing (as a child of nearly seven) in September 1936  the regiment of porters, smelling asphyxiatingly of garlic in their blue-green blousons  the raucous sound all around me of spoken French  the immense fields of Normandy strangely devoid of hedges  then the Gare du Nord at twilight, the policemen with their kpis and their little snow-white batons  and my first sight of the Eiffel Tower....
This book is written in the belief that the average English-speaking man or woman has remarkably little knowledge of French history. We may know a bit about Napoleon or Joan of Arc or Louis XIV, but for most of us that's about it. In my own three schools we were taught only about the battles we won: Crcy and Poitiers, Agincourt and Waterloo. The rest was silence. So here is my attempt to fill in the blanks....
John Julius Norwich (at 88) has finally written the book he always wanted to write, the extremely colourful story of the country he loves best. From frowning Roman generals and belligerent Gallic chieftains to Charlemagne (hated by generations of French children taught that he invented schools) through Marie Antoinette and the storming of the Bastille to Vichy, the Resistance and beyond, France is packed with heroes and villains, adventures and battles, romance and revolution. Full of memorable stories and racy anecdotes, this is the perfect introduction to the country that has inspired the rest of the world to live, dress, eat - and love better.English | 2018 | MP3 | M4B | ASIN: B0771V4PJF | Duration: 15:12 h | 419 MB
