Download or read book Twenty Five Great Houses of France written by Theodore Andrea Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Five Great Houses of France: The Story of the Noblest French Chateaux Such stupendous erections as Mont St. Michel are not so much the work of any individual man, or men, as the accomplished prayer of tens of thousands. That is one reason why the names of so many master-masons are lost; they lived in their completed masonry alone; they were swallowed up in the sincerity and vital strength of a passionate and national religion which expressed itself in the Cathedrals and monasteries of the thirteenth century. It was the Church which alone preserved through the Dark Ages the fundamental principles of art, of civilisation, of architecture. It was the abbey of Cluny which sent forth the first great artists in the school rightly called French Gothic (as opposed to any development of pointed architecture elsewhere) which is here illustrated by Mont St. Michel. That style was equally effective in such great fortress towns as Carcassonne, whose first ramparts were set up by Visigoths in the fifth century, while its final line of external defence was completed towards the close of the thirteenth. What military building had become by the end of the twelfth century can be seen from the massive ruins of Richard Coeur de Lion's saucy castle on the Seine, Chateau Gaillard; and it is most interesting to observe how the very complications of defence which lost Roger de Lacey that famous Plantagenet stronghold were improved and simplified at Pierrefonds, the stronghold built for Louis d'orleans in 1400.

An epic saga from New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Dray based on the true story of an extraordinary castle in the heart of France and the remarkable women bound by its legacy. Most castles are protected by men. This one by women. A founding mother... 1774. Gently-bred noblewoman Adrienne Lafayette becomes her husband, the Marquis de Lafayette’s political partner in the fight for American independence. But when their idealism sparks revolution in France and the guillotine threatens everything she holds dear, Adrienne must renounce the complicated man she loves, or risk her life for a legacy that will inspire generations to come. A daring visionary... 1914. Glittering New York socialite Beatrice Chanler is a force of nature, daunted by nothing—not her humble beginnings, her crumbling marriage, or the outbreak of war. But after witnessing the devastation in France firsthand, Beatrice takes on the challenge of a lifetime: convincing America to fight for what's right. A reluctant resistor... 1940. French school-teacher and aspiring artist Marthe Simone has an orphan's self-reliance and wants nothing to do with war. But as the realities of Nazi occupation transform her life in the isolated castle where she came of age, she makes a discovery that calls into question who she is, and more importantly, who she is willing to become. Intricately woven and powerfully told, The Women of Chateau Lafayette is a sweeping novel about duty and hope, love and courage, and the strength we take from those who came before us.
