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.

Joan of Arc: The Story of the Defender and Patron Saint of France is more than just a history book—it's a journey of discovery. It is a bridge that connects us to the past, allowing us to walk through history, understanding the socio-political dynamics of Joan's time, and how they reverberate even today. It's a mirror that reflects our present, making us ponder upon the role of women, faith, and nationalism in society.

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.

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".

D'Ajaccio à Sainte-Hélène, en passant par le Grand-Saint-Bernard, Austerlitz, Moscou, Waterloo, l'île d'Elbe, André Castelot a mis ses pas dans ceux de Napoléon Bonaparte pour respirer et restituer le décor de son prodigieux destin. Exploitant et mettant en valeur, avec son art célèbre du récit qui visualise les événements, les lieux et les personnages, une immense masse d'archives, de mémoires et de correspondance parfois inédits ou oubliés, il a écrit cette monumentale biographie si vivante, si colorée, si passionnante que depuis trente ans, son public se renouvelle sans cesse.

Ciudadanos no es la versión trillada de un régimen muriendo de enfermedad y decrepitud, sino el reflejo de la transformación que cambió la historia de Europa para siempre: el paso de hombres y mujeres de «sujetos» a «ciudadanos». Partiendo de la idea de que la fe de los ciudadanos en la libertad fue la causa más que el producto de la Revolución francesa, Schama dibuja un país en ebullición en el que se derrumban las diferencias entre nobles y plebeyos, en un escenario de hambre, ira, terror y muerte.

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.

The Age of Revolution has traditionally been understood as an era of secularization, giving the transition from monarchy to independent republics through democratic movements a genealogy that assumes hostility to Catholicism. By centering the story on Spanish and Latin American actors, Pamela Voekel argues that at the heart of this nineteenth-century transformation in Spanish America was a transatlantic Catholic civil war.

¿Cuál es el auténtico significado del célebre emblema de Enrique III de Valois? ¿Simboliza quizá la subordinación de las dos coronas terrestres—las de Francia y Polonia—a la corona «celeste», o el advenimiento de una tercera corona «terrenal»? Nuccio Ordine emprende en este ensayo una apasionante investigación sobre las colecciones de emblemas y empresas de la Europa del siglo XVI.

This is a short biography of Napoleon, powered by AI. The audiobook delves into the early life and rise to power of Napoleon, and then describes the decline and fall of this historical figure.

Featuring some of the most brilliant and notable sayings from a revolutionising world, "100 Quotes by Nicolas de Chamfort" paints a vivid mosaic of life during and after the French Revolution. Having thrown himself into the Republican movement and fight to overthrow the last king of France, Chamfort was one of the first to have entered the Bastille as it was triumphantly stormed. Secretary to Louis XVI’s sister and of the notary Jacobin Club, he went on to witness the dawn of a new era with the reign of Marat and Robespierre, underseeing the campaign towards universal men’s suffrage.

Qu'ont donc en commun les plateformes logistiques d'Amazon, les émissions de Stéphane Plaza, les restaurants de kebabs, les villages de néo-ruraux dans la Drôme, l'univers des coaches et les boulangeries de rond-point ? Rien, bien sûr, sinon que chacune de ces réalités économiques, culturelles et sociales occupe le quotidien ou nourrit l'imaginaire d'un segment de la France contemporaine. Or, nul atlas ne permet de se repérer dans cette France nouvelle où chacun ignore ce que fait l'autre.
