Rethinking France
How do we visualize a state or a nation? Some might imagine territory - the borders that divide countries, that mark the space where power is exercised and history evolves. Others might picture natural aspects like mountains, rivers, and landscapes that make their own country distinct. For Pierre Nora, these are historical and geographical conceptions of "space." And, in the case of the French, these conceptions are not separate but instead uniquely linked. They are key to understanding French national identity.

Lucy ARBELL, voix d'ombres et de lumière
Le nom de Lucy Arbell, a la ville Georgette Wallace, reste etroitement associe aux derniers operas de Jules Massenet, dont elle fut l'egerie pendant pres de 12 ans. En dehors de ce contexte bien cible, teinte de rumeurs de liaisons et de soubresauts judiciaires, la memoire collective a oublie Lucy Arbell. Cantatrice, tragedienne, mais aussi femme au grand coeur, attachante et tourmentee, celle-ci merite aujourd'hui d'etre redecouverte. D'archives en archives, de temoignages en temoignages, l'auteur de cet ouvrage s'est attache a redessiner un portrait detaille de ce personnage passionnant, au coeur du paysage lyrique francais du debut du XXe siecle...
Visitors to Versailles
What was it like to visit one of the most magnificent courts of Europe? Based on a wealth of contemporary documents and surviving works of art, this lavish book explores the experiences of those who swarmed the palace and grounds of Versailles when it was the seat of the French monarchy. Engaging essays describe methods of transportation, the elaborate codes of dress and etiquette, precious diplomatic gifts, royal audiences, and tours of the palace and gardens. Also presented are the many types of visitors and guests who eagerly made their way to this center of power and culture, including day-trippers and Grand Tourists, European diplomats, overseas ambassadors, incognito travelers, and Americans. Through paintings and portraits, furniture, costumes and uniforms, arms and armor, guidebooks, and other works of art, Visitors to Versailles illuminates what travelers encountered at court and what impressions, gifts, and souvenirs they took home with them. In bringing to life their experiences, this sumptuously illustrated volume reminds us why Versailles has enchanted generations of visitors from the ancien régime to the present day.
