The Father and Daughter: A Tale in Prose
The night was dark,—the wind blew keenly over the frozen and rugged heath, when Agnes, pressing her moaning child to her bosom, was travelling on foot to her father's habitation. "Would to God I had never left it!" she exclaimed, as home and all its enjoyments rose in fancy to her view:—and I think my readers will be ready to join in the exclamation, when they hear the poor wanderer's history. Agnes Fitzhenry was the only child of a respectable merchant in a country town, who, having lost his wife when his daughter was very young, resolved for her sake to form no second connection. To the steady, manly affection of a father, Fitzhenry joined the fond anxieties and endearing attentions of...
The Englishman Who Wanted to Clean France
In 2017, Edmund Platt aka The English Snail embarked on an 8,000 km hitchhike around France to pick up the trash that 1 in 3 French people chuck from their cars every day. Hellbent on making some noise about the disastrous littering problem, the plastic suffocating our oceans and our broken consumer society, Eddie's message is honest, ultra-powerful, and full of home truths. Highly anticipated by the media and fans alike, his first book details the nitty-gritty life on the road in the land of frog’s legs and garlic breath. With nothing but a backpack, litter-picker and healthy thirst for beer, his three-month journey will change the way you look at life and maybe even your priorities. Time isn't money, it's much more ****ing valuable than that! This book is a human rollercoaster adventure laced with twists and turns that anyone can relate to. Rich in spontaneity, amusing and eye-opening, The Englishman Who Wanted to Clean France is the ultimate slap in the face and kick-start we could all use during these contagious times.

Sedge (Cyperaceae) Genera of Africa and Madagascar
Sedges (of the plant family Cyperaceae) can appear seemingly insignificant. On closer inspection, however, their hidden, complex and remarkable constructive design is revealed. In order to facilitate identification of the 63 genera occurring in Africa and Madagascar, this book includes, for the first time, photographs of the living sedge plants in their natural habitats and line drawings of their morphology. Additionally, photographs of small fruits, as they appear under a microscope, are included as well as full botanical descriptions, so that a detailed assessment of these plants is possible. The genera illustrated and accounted for here, carry the names that were applied at the turn of th...
Le commerce du luxe à Paris aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles
Les différentes études contenues dans ce volume replacent le commerce du luxe pendant l'Ancien Régime dans une perspective historique, économique et sociale, depuis la conception des objets jusqu'à leur consommation, en France et en Europe. Les princes européens achetaient à Paris les créations les plus luxueuses, à la dernière mode, afin d'affirmer leur position sociale, leur puissance financière et la justesse de leur goût. Leurs motivations témoignent des dimensions sociale et politique du commerce international du luxe. L'aspect matériel des envois met en lumière les circuits commerciaux, les détails pratiques de telles expéditions. Pour la première fois, des études de chercheurs étrangers, rarement traduites, sont accessibles aux chercheurs et aux historiens de l'art français. Elles apportent un point de vue extérieur inédit et indispensable pour appréhender le commerce parisien dans toute sa complexité. Ces recherches permettent de mieux saisir l'origine et l'ancienneté du prestige international de l'industrie du luxe en France.
Mixed Feelings in France
While multicultural comedies criticise hegemonic whiteness and outdated stances on race relations, they simultaneously perpetuate the colonial aesthetic register by deploying a »republican gaze« – an ironic meta-narrative perspective on ethnic minorities. Ewelina Pepiak analyses how gender and ethnicity are represented in seven contemporary French comedies (2008-2018) including mixed-race couples, focusing on a trope of métissage (biological and cultural mixing) and white femininity. As analyses of ethnic and gender representations remain scarce due to the slow emergence of postcolonial studies in France, this study adds significant insights to the postcolonial debate.
