The Culture of French Revolutionary Diplomacy
This book examines the culture of the French diplomatic corps from 1789 to 1799. It analyzes how the French revolutionaries attempted, albeit unsuccessfully, to transform the diplomatic culture of the old regime, notably in etiquette, language and dress and how the ideology and dynamic of the Revolution affected certain aspects of international affairs.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Heinrich Heine und die Geschichte Frankreichs
Heines Forschungen zur Geschichte Frankreichs. Von der Völkerwanderung bis zum Tod Napoleons im Jahr 1821 erstrecken sich Heines geschichtliche Untersuchungen. Auf der Grundlage ganz unterschiedlicher Quellen - darunter die deutsch-französische Dichtung und die französische Geschichtsschreibung - erwächst ein eigenes Geschichtsbild, das im Zusammenhang mit Heines politischem Systemdenken von besonderem Interesse ist. Germaine de Staël und Edaurd Gans treten als Geschichtsvermittler besonders hervor.
