Download or read book A Bite Sized History of France written by Stéphane Henaut and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "delicious" (Dorie Greenspan), "genial" (Kirkus Reviews), "very cool book about the intersections of food and history" (Michael Pollan)—as featured in the New York Times "The complex political, historical, religious and social factors that shaped some of [France's] . . . most iconic dishes and culinary products are explored in a way that will make you rethink every sprinkling of fleur de sel." —The New York Times Book Review Acclaimed upon its hardcover publication as a "culinary treat for Francophiles" (Publishers Weekly), A Bite-Sized History of France is a thoroughly original book that explores the facts and legends of the most popular French foods and wines. Traversing the cuisines of France's most famous cities as well as its underexplored regions, the book is enriched by the "authors' friendly accessibility that makes these stories so memorable" (The New York Times Book Review). This innovative social history also explores the impact of war and imperialism, the age-old tension between tradition and innovation, and the enduring use of food to prop up social and political identities. The origins of the most legendary French foods and wines—from Roquefort and cognac to croissants and Calvados, from absinthe and oysters to Camembert and champagne—also reveal the social and political trends that propelled France's rise upon the world stage. As told by a Franco-American couple (Stéphane is a cheesemonger, Jeni is an academic) this is an "impressive book that intertwines stories of gastronomy, culture, war, and revolution. . . . It's a roller coaster ride, and when you're done you'll wish you could come back for more" (The Christian Science Monitor).

Download or read book Romances of Old France written by Richard Le Gallienne and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-03 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romances of Old France, by Richard Le Gallienne. This is in a sense a companion to Mr. Le Gallienne's "Old Love Stories Retold," which was so popular in the last Christmas season. It retells the famous Troubadour 'romances, the tales of tradition and chivalry, none of which are quite historical but all of which have unquestionable basis in fact. The tales are charmingly done in Mr. Le Gallienne's best style. Whether dealing with love or youth or beauty, this author's fine fancy and sympathy brings out the romantic interest and charm of the tale. In point of text and manufacture the book is most attractive, with its decorations in green, its numerous illustrations and its binding in art paper and leather.--The Advance, Volume 50
Download or read book Tales of Languedoc written by Samuel Jacques Brun and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales of Languedoc is a collection of folk stories from southern France; set during the late Middle Ages and retold in modern English, the author takes effort to be faithful and accurate to the original tales. The color and cultural vibrance of rural France is reflected in the stories, as is the countryside of Languedoc; a region which is today part of Occitanie. We witness the knightly and noble classes of France vying for superiority and popular renown in the region through contests of might or bravery. The toppling of the unjust, whereby young heroes rise from obscurity against the odds, is a popular recurring theme in these stories of yore. Steeped in heroism, the stories are part of a single long narrative in which the author's grandfather ? a seasoned traveler experienced with all of France ? reveals local legends. Vignettes of the old France, a country both fertile and rugged where most travel was upon horseback or on foot, set the scene.
Download or read book Old French Fairy Tales Illustrated by Virginia Frances Sterrett written by Comtesse De Segur and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old French Fairy Tales is a collection of french folklore and fairytales, penned by Sophie Rostopchine, Countess of Ségur (1799 – 1874). Ségur was a French writer of Russian birth, best known today for her novel Les Malheurs de Sophie (Sophie’s misfortunes), intended for children. The anthology contains stories split into four categories: ‘Blondine, Bonne-Biche, and Beau-Minon’, ‘Good Little Henry’, ‘Princess Rosette’, ‘Little Gay Mouse’ and ‘Ourson’. The stories in Old French Fairy Tales are accompanied by the truly beautiful illustrations of Virginia Frances Sterrett (1900 – 1931). Presented alongside the text, her illustrations further refine and elucidate Ségur’s masterful storytelling. Sterrett was an American artist and illustrator – one of the most talented, though also most tragic, of the ‘Golden Age’ illustrators. Sterrett’s illustrations are delicate yet powerful, inspired by the tradition of Art Nouveaux with its light washes of colour and sinuous black lines. She only completed three works in her lifetime, due to her early death from tuberculosis at the age of thirty-one. These include Old French Fairy Tales (1920), Tanglewood Tales (1921) and Arabian Nights (1928). Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue to delight both young and old.

Download or read book Tales of Vice and Virtue written by Adrian Tudor and published by Brill. This book was released on 2005 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Here is presented for the first time a medieval text, the first Old French Vie des Peres. The Vie des Peres is a collective text comprising three branches and, at its fullest, over seventy individually enclosed pious tales and miracles. The first Vie - the first forty-one or forty-two tales - dates from the first third of the thirteenth century. It is a vitally significant, but hitherto neglected, part of the Old French canon. The tales are well written and offer glimpses of thirteenth-century life and spirituality." "The Vie des Peres will interest scholars engaged in the study of vernacular literature, codicology, lexicography, art history, theology and philology. Tales of Vice and Virtue is the first sustained analysis of the entire first Vie des Peres. It is a book which provides readers new to the text with detailed commentaries, offers abundant intertextual information for romance philologists, and suggests many new areas for further research."--Page de 4

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From the Old French Fair as man can desire was that orchard, and therein grew many an herb whose name I know not; yet may I tell you of a truth there were roses and flowers that gave forth a strong and pleasant fra grance; and such manner of spices grew there that if any creature, suffering from sickness and infirmity, were brought thi ther in a litter, and lay in that orchard but for the space of a single night, he would go forth healed and strong; so rich it was in goodly herbs. And the meadow was so level even that in it was neither hill nor hollow, and all the tree-tops were of one height; no other orchard close so fair was there in all the world. Ask ye not of its fruit, for none such shall ye find; but in the garden they ripened in every season. Wise was he who contrived it, and by enchantment he wrought it, whereof Within was many a proof.
