This is a profoundly original and entertaining history of France,
from the first century bc to the present day, based on countless
new discoveries and thirty years of exploring France on foot, by
bicycle and in the library. Beginning with the Roman army's first
recorded encounter with the Gauls and ending with the gilet jaunes
protests in the era of Emmanuel Macron, each chapter is an
adventure in its own right. Along the way, readers will find the
usual faces, events and themes of French history - Louis XIV, the
French Revolution, the French Resistance, the Tour de France - but
all presented in a shining new light. Graham Robb's France: An
Adventure History does not offer a standard dry list of facts and
dates, but a panorama of France, teeming with characters, full of
stories, journeys and coincidences, giving readers a thrilling
sense of discovery and enlightenment. It is a vivid, living history
of one of the world's most fascinating nations by a ceaselessly
entertaining writer in complete command of subject and style.
