Casanova's Women
The world's greatest seducer - and the array of remarkable women he pursued - as you have never seen them before 'His final scenes make an arresting image ... entertaining ... Judith Summers has worked hard to explore who these women really were' TLS 'Summers relays all the most succulent scandals from the life of the famous womaniser' Telegraph Eighteenth-century Venetian adventurer Giacomo Casanova, history's most famous seducer, talked his way into the beds of more than 200 women. Charming, brilliant and devastatingly attractive, the compulsive womaniser claimed to like and understand his conquests. But he could also be ruthless, cruel, selfish and dishonest. Who were these women who established Casanova's extraordinary reputation? From the two sisters with whom he had his first sexual experience to the libidinous Venetian nun who defied God in order to sleep with him, from the wealthy widow he tricked out of a fortune to the love of his life, the glamorous and daring Henriette, they all have their story to tell.

Las mujeres de Casanova
Judith Summers indaga en la vida del seductor más famoso de la historia desde una perspectiva femenina, lanzando una nueva y fascinante luz sobre la figura de aquel hombre peligroso y cautivador. El aventurero veneciano del siglo XVIII Giacomo Casanova utilizó siempre su carisma para poder acceder al lecho de más de doscientas mujeres, convirtiendo así su nombre en sinónimo de seductor. Encantador, brillante y enormemente atractivo, Casanova aseguraba que no sólo le gustaban, sino que también entendía a sus conquistas. Pero ¿quiénes fueron las mujeres sobre las que Casanova cimentó su reputación como uno de los más grandes amantes que jamás hayan existido? Desde las dos hermanas con las que tuvo su primera experiencia sexual hasta la libidinosa monja veneciana que desafió a Dios para poder acostarse con él, desde la viuda rica a la que engañó para defraudarle una fortuna hasta el amor de su vida, la encantadora y atrevida Henriette, todas ellas tienen una historia que contar.

Napoleon and de Gaulle
An Australian Book Review Best Book of the Year One of France’s most famous historians compares two exemplars of political and military leadership to make the unfashionable case that individuals, for better and worse, matter in history. Historians have taught us that the past is not just a tale of heroes and wars. The anonymous millions matter and are active agents of change. But in democratizing history, we have lost track of the outsized role that individual will and charisma can play in shaping the world, especially in moments of extreme tumult. Patrice Gueniffey provides a compelling reminder in this powerful dual biography of two transformative leaders, Napoleon Bonaparte and Charles ...
Le Langage de la chasse
Cette étude se présente sous la forme d'un dictionnaire critique et analogique. Elle concerne une partie du vocabulaire contemporain de la chasse : les noms des gibiers et des prédateurs de nos régions, y compris la nomenclature très précise des bois du cerf, du chevreuil et du daim. Les termes cynégétiques et les termes familiers ou imagés qui concernent chaque animal sont réunis et définis avec précision et clarté. Ceux qui emploient ce vocabulaire, écrivains, chroniqueurs, chasseurs, gardes, juristes, spécialistes du gibier et de la chasse, français et belges, sont fréquemment cités. L'usage attesté dans ces textes est confronté aux données des grands dictionnaires de langue, à celles des encyclopédies et à celles des traités spécialisés. Cet ouvrage s'adresse d'une part aux philologues et aux linguistes, d'autre part aux chasseurs et à tous ceux que le gibier et les animaux de nos régions intéressent.

Rewriting Wrongs
Rewriting Wrongs: French Crime Fiction and the Palimpsest furthers scholarly research into French crime fiction and, within that broad context, examines the nature, functions and specificity of the palimpsest. Originally a palaeographic phenomenon, the palimpsest has evolved into a figurative notion used to define any cultural artefact which has been reused but still bears traces of its earlier form. In her 2007 study The Palimpsest, Sarah Dillon refers to “the persistent fascination with palimpsests in the popular imagination, embodying as they do the mystery of the secret, the miracle of resurrection and the thrill of detective discovery”. In the context of crime fiction, the palimpsest is a particularly fertile metaphor. Because the practice of rewriting is so central to popular fiction as a whole, crime fiction is replete with hypertextual transformations. The palimpsest also has tremendous extra-diegetic resonance, in that crime fiction frequently involves the rewriting of criminal or historical events and scandals. This collection of essays therefore exemplifies and interrogates the various manifestations and implications of the palimpsest in French crime fiction.
