Riassunto

To paraphrase a wise observation - we will only know where we are heading if we know where we have come from - is in part the inspiration for this series of national histories. In addition to that understanding, it was the conviction of series editor, Justin Wintle, that increasing globalization makes it ever more essential to understand our own history and the history of other nations, neighbouring or worlds away. France has been one of Europe's great political powers for many centuries, while French culture has exerted an influence right round the globe. This text provides a concise overview of both these aspects of the country's history, tracing the story of France from its pre-Roman beginnings to the present day. Featuring a continuous time-line, sidebars on the Lascaux caves, the Cathars, Voltaire, De Gaulle and a host of other topics, plus illustrations and quotations, this guide is aimed at students and travellers alike.
