One could confidently say such a thing because of the long history of French polities taking charge in world history. Before France proper even existed, the tribes there, such as the Franks, played a central role in regional affairs. For example, as the Roman Empire was falling apart, the Franks were increasingly relied upon for the security of the ailing Roman state.

The French Revolution is incredibly complex and involves a lot of moving parts, from the monarchy to the political clubs, from the intelligentsia to the starving peasantry protesting in the streets. This audiobook breaks it down for you in simple terms. It could be argued that the French Revolution is the perfect example of a social movement that began with the best of intentions yet somehow went wrong.

Mont-Saint-Michel an der Küste der Normandie ist die wohl berühmteste Teilzeitinsel Europas, deren Insel-Status von den Gezeiten abhängt. In dieser spannenden Ausgabe von G/Geschichte können Sie hören, wie der Berg die Geschichte der Normandie widerspiegelt – und dabei zu einem Wunder der normannischen Architektur herangewachsen ist. Eine besondere Perspektive bietet in diesem Heft auch der Blickpunkt "Die Deutschen und der Wolf".

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.

This book written ostensibly by the writer "Eliakim the Scribe" was a book written about the tyrant of the time: Napoleon Bonaparte. Written in early modern English, the book feels like a reading of history, in the language of the Holy Bible. The history of Napoleon Bonaparte is recounted and the listener learns the ups and downs of the reign of one of the greatest conquerors in history. As one of the few popular works written in the 1800s in the language of the 1600s, the book is unique and an enjoyable listen in audiobook format.

The twentieth century is usually seen as "the century of total war." But as the historian David A. Bell argues in this landmark work, the phenomenon actually began much earlier, in the era of muskets, cannons, and sailing ships—in the age of Napoleon. In a sweeping, evocative narrative, Bell takes us from campaigns of "extermination" in the blood-soaked fields of western France to savage street fighting in ruined Spanish cities to central European battlefields where tens of thousands died in a single day. Between 1792 and 1815, Europe plunged into an abyss of destruction.

Madame de Staël fue una de las grandes cabezas políticas de su tiempo y ejerció una influencia decisiva sobre más de medio siglo de vida cultural y política de Francia y Europa. Profunda defensora de las libertades políticas, se enfrentó sin contemplaciones tanto al terror jacobino como al autoritarismo de Napoleón.

La publicarea din Franța, în 2008, Anii a fost primită cu surprindere. Deși Annie Ernaux era deja de decenii o scriitoare iubită și premiată, Anii a reprezentat, în mult feluri, un nou început: atât un volum de memorii al unei întregi generații, dar și povestea unor oameni ce-și relatează istoria unică. Poate de aceea naratoarea cărții evită pronumele „eu", alegând să folosească „noi".

The fateful days and weeks surrounding June 6th, 1944, have been extensively documented in histories of the Second World War, but less attention has been paid to the tremendous impact of these events on the populations nearby. The Lost Paratroopers of Normandy tells the inspiring yet heartbreaking story of ordinary people who did extraordinary things in defense of liberty and freedom.

Europe’s attempts to appease Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, most notably at Munich in 1938, failed, as Nazi Germany swallowed up Austria and Czechoslovakia by 1939. Italy was on the march as well, invading Albania in April of 1939.

The Afterlives of the Terror explores how those who experienced the mass violence of the French Revolution struggled to come to terms with it. Focusing on the Reign of Terror, Ronen Steinberg challenges the presumption that its aftermath was characterized by silence and enforced collective amnesia. Instead, he shows that there were painful, complex, and sometimes surprisingly honest debates about how to deal with its legacies.

In 1494, there were five sovereign regional powers in Italy: Milan, Venice, Florence, the Papal States and Naples. In 1536, only one remained: Venice. These decades of conflict precipitated great anxiety among Western thinkers, and Italians responded to the fragmentation of Latin Christendom, the end of self-governance for Italians, and the beginning of the early modern era in various ways. They were always heavily influenced by the lived experience of warfare between large Christian armies on the peninsula.

Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) is in de Franse toonkunst een bijzondere eenling, een componist zo origineel, dat de Fransen er nog steeds een beetje moeite mee hebben. Hij werd veel bekender in Duitsland en Engeland dan in het wat stijve en academische Frankrijk. Berlioz was in veel opzichten een kind van de jaren twintig en dertig van de negentiende eeuw, toen restauratie en revolutie hand in hand leken te gaan. Het was de tijd van de burgerkoning Louis Philippe, maar ook van schrijvers als Victor Hugo, Gérard de Nerval en Alfred de Musset. Bovendien was Berlioz een grote fan van Shakespeare.

Dicen que el juicio no existe en Lourdes. Una vez que uno pone un pie en este suelo sagrado, todas las barreras de raza, condición social, antecedentes y diferencias de religión dejan de existir. No es uno más que un alma humilde en busca de la renovación de la propia conexión con Dios.
