Specificatii
A narrative of exploration-- full of strange landscapes and even
stranger inhabitants-- that explains the enduring fascination of
France. While Gustave Eiffel was changing the skyline of Paris,
large parts of France were still terra incognita. Even in the age
of railways and newspapers, France was a land of ancient tribal
divisions, prehistoric communication networks, and pre-Christian
beliefs. French itself was a minority language. Graham Robb
describes that unknown world in arresting narrative detail. He
recounts the epic journeys of mapmakers, scientists, soldiers,
administrators, and intrepid tourists, of itinerant workers,
pilgrims, and herdsmen with their millions of migratory domestic
animals. We learn how France was explored, charted, and colonized,
and how the imperial influence of Paris was gradually extended
throughout a kingdom of isolated towns and villages. The Discovery
of France explains how the modern nation came to be and how poorly
understood that nation still is today. Above all, it shows how much
of France-- past and present-- remains to be discovered. 8 pages of
color and 8 pages of black-and-white illustrations.
