About this product
Product Information
This is a vivid and indispensable book, so full of unexpected and wittily related treasures... Daily Telegraph It's easy to reduce France to the sum of its parts: weekend breaks amid the culture of Paris or summer holidays basking in the sunshine of the south; accounts of the Revolution - Madame Defarge knitting beside the guillotine - and Napoleon's battle at Waterloo (mis)remembered from school history lessons; a country famous for its intellectuals, its philosophers and writers, its fashion, food and wine. Despite this, however, the notion of the French as one nation is relatively recent and - historically speaking - quite misleading; in order to discover the real past of France, it's not only necessary to go back in time, but also to go at a slower pace than modern life generally allows: this book is the result of 14,000 miles covered by bicycle (and four years spent in the library). It is - at last - a book which tells the whole story. PRAISE FOR THE DISCOVERY OF FRANCE Captivatingly full of the author's own discoveries - exotic landscapes, weird customs, remarkable individuals and events overlooked by history Guardian A revealing biography of ordinary French citizens and a portrait of the world beyond Paris and the urban elite. Time Out Superlative history of la France profonde Sunday Times, 100 best holiday reads

This seller gave excellent communication & a full refund when the book I ordered was found to be damaged at the warehouse. They sent a very apologetic email explaining the issue & refunded me straight away. I have used this seller before & they have always been reliable & prompt with delivery. The items have also been in even better condition than described for an amazingly reasonable price. This was not their fault, so I would definitely buy from this seller again & recommend them to others.
