Aubertin d'Avalon
Aubertin d'Avalon En cette fin du xiie siècle, où s'invente un monde nouveau, comment Aubertin d'Avalon, bâtisseur de cathédrale et maître sculpteur, peut-il deviner que la mission que lui ont confiée les Templiers va le jeter sur les routes de l'Orient, faire de lui un pèlerin de la Flamme Sainte, le transformer en incendiaire mystique ? Voici de Paris à Jérusalem, en passant par Chartres, le grand roman d'une initiation où la fureur des temps n'a d'égale que l'élévation spirituelle.

Theodore Beza at 500

Furthermore, the burgeoning coffee economy shattered traditional economic, social and political relationships, opening up the way for other areas of growth. The British role was not confined to economic development. They also contributed to the growth of 'a modern world-view'. Spencerianism and the idea of progress, for instance, were not exotic and meaningless imports, but an integral part of the transformation Brazil was experiencing.
