Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of France, Vol. 2 State of France, - In 1598 Henry IV. had driven out the foreigners, reconciled Catholics and Protestants, and established peace in the interior and on the frontiers. It was now necessary to heal all the wounds that France had received. A contemporary estimated that since 1580 eight hundred thousand persons had perished by war and massacre; that nine cities had been levelled with the ground, two hundred and fifty villages burned, and one hundred and twenty-eight thousand houses destroyed. And since that period, which preceded the formation of the League, how numerous were the ruins of another sort! Workmen without work, commerce interrupted, agriculture desolated, robbery everywhere; and from the midst of all this desolation Henry IV. must endeavor to resuscitate France. The nobility had proposed one way out of the difficulty; they offered him all the money necessary for the government and for the maintenance of the army, on condition of a virtual restoration of feudalism. This was far from according with Henry's designs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of France, Vol. 2 The Sixteenth Century. - Voltaire, struck by the contrast between the misery and the grandeur of this period, by its artistic glory and by the polish of the court, brilliant even in the midst of crimes, cried, "It was a bloody robe of silk and gold." The silk and gold have already been depicted; it remains to display the blood and ruins. The Sons of Henry II. - At his death Henry II. left by Catherine de Medici four young sons. Born sickly and early worn out by their excesses, three of these mounted the throne in rapid succession without leaving any direct heirs. As a result, the sceptre of absolute power, so difficult to wield, fell for a quarter of a century into the hands of children or of youths without experience. Grandsons of the most brilliant of French kings, and inheriting the blood of the Medici through their mother, they had time to display excellent mental qualities and grave faults of character. They were eloquent speakers, poets on occasion, always patrons of literature and art. But they were guilty of those vices by which states are ruined, and the crimes to which their treacherous and passionate natures led them have caused their intellectual gifts to be forgotten. The eldest, Francis II., could not escape the evil results of these contradictions in his nature; he reigned - fortunately for his reputation - for less than a year and a half.

Download or read book Mastering the Art of French Cooking Volume 1 written by Julia Child and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The definitive cookbook on French cuisine for American readers: "What a cookbook should be: packed with sumptuous recipes, detailed instructions, and precise line drawings. Some of the instructions look daunting, but as Child herself says in the introduction, 'If you can read, you can cook.'" —Entertainment Weekly “I only wish that I had written it myself.” —James Beard Featuring 524 delicious recipes and over 100 instructive illustrations to guide readers every step of the way, Mastering the Art of French Cooking offers something for everyone, from seasoned experts to beginners who love good food and long to reproduce the savory delights of French cuisine. Julia Child, Simone Beck, and Louisette Bertholle break down the classic foods of France into a logical sequence of themes and variations rather than presenting an endless and diffuse catalogue of dishes—from historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. Throughout, the focus is on key recipes that form the backbone of French cookery and lend themselves to an infinite number of elaborations—bound to increase anyone’s culinary repertoire. “Julia has slowly but surely altered our way of thinking about food. She has taken the fear out of the term ‘haute cuisine.’ She has increased gastronomic awareness a thousandfold by stressing the importance of good foundation and technique, and she has elevated our consciousness to the refined pleasures of dining." —Thomas Keller, The French Laundry
