Det är ett ofta förbisett faktum, att andra världskrigets viktigaste slag inte utkämpades på Normandies stränder eller i Stalingrads ruiner utan på Atlanten, där tyska ubåtar försökte "svälta" Storbritannien till kapitulation genom att skära av viktiga försörjningslinjer för mat och materiel. Idag är det i stort sett omöjligt att finna spår efter de slag som kostade över 100 000 soldater och sjömän livet, för fartygsvraken ligger på Atlantens botten. Därför kan det vara svårt att förstå betydelsen av slaget om Atlanten som rasade under alla krigets sex år.

"L'Histoire de France" de Jules Michelet est un monument. Littéraire, d'abord, par le style envolé de ce digne héritier de Dumas et par sa puissance d'évocation : Michelet s'était donné pour mission de ressusciter le passé, de faire revivre personnages et coups d'éclat qui ont construit l'identité de la France pour mettre en évidence ce qui fait l'âme d'une nation. Historique dans tous les sens du terme, ensuite : ses dix-sept tomes publiés entre 1833 et 1867 constituent la première histoire exhaustive consacrée à la France, qui avant lui n'était décrite que par une "suite d'annales" sans qu'un sens global en ait jamais été dégagé.

In a country where patriarchal favoritism and the primacy of sons survived multiple revolutions and an ideological earthquake, this epic novel is first and foremost about women, with the female body serving as the book’s central metaphor.
