Download or read book Le paysage et la vigne written by Roger Dion and published by Payot. This book was released on 1990 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Comment se sont formées les campagnes françaises ? D'où viennent leur richesse et leur diversité ? Roger Dion reprend ces interrogations pour en donner une lecture neuve : le paysage rural n'est pas le produit du hasard, mais d'une transformation pragmatique des données naturelles; il est d'abord l'oeuvre des hommes, de leur savoir technique, de leur culture qui varient à l'infini dans l'espace et dans le temps. La leçon de la géographie historique est une leçon de liberté et d'imagination, de respect aussi pour le bon sens et le labeur paysans. Mais Roger Dion n'a pas seulement renouvelé notre regard sur le paysage, il a aussi fondé notre savoir sur l'histoire de la vigne et du vin. Le premier, il a démontré que la qualité des vins venait autant du désir de boire bon et de faire bien que de l'excellence des terroirs: tous les grands crus anciens sont nés au voisinage d'une ville, d'un château, d'une voie de communication fluviale ou routière. Là encore, c'est l'homme qui modèle la matière et non l'inverse. Voici enfin réunies des pages lumineuses et introuvables, qui illustrent la contribution originale, mais trop souvent méconnue, de Roger Dion aux relations complexes de la géographie et de l'histoire."

Download or read book The Tradition of Household Spirits written by Claude Lecouteux and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-07-21 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines how the ancient customs of constructing and keeping a house formed a sacred bond between homes and their inhabitants • Shares many tales of house spirits, from cajoling the local land spirit into becoming one’s house spirit to the good and bad luck bestowed by mischievous house elves • Explains the meaning behind door and window placement, house orientation, horsehead gables, the fireplace or hearth, and the threshold • Reveals the charms, chants, prayers, and building practices used by our ancestors to bestow happiness and prosperity upon their homes and their occupants Why do we hang horseshoes for good luck or place wreaths on our doors? Why does the groom carry his new bride over the threshold? These customs represent the last vestiges from a long, rich history of honoring the spirits of our homes. They show that a house is more than a building: it is a living being with a body and soul. Examining the extensive traditions surrounding houses from medieval times to the present, Claude Lecouteux reveals that, before we entered the current era of frequent moves and modular housing, moving largely from the countryside into cities, humanity had an extremely sacred relationship with their homes and all the spirits who lived there alongside them--from the spirit of the house itself to the mischievous elves, fairies, and imps who visited, invited or not. He shows how every aspect of constructing and keeping a house involved rites, ceremony, customs, and taboos to appease the spirits, including the choice of a building lot and the very materials with which it was built. Uncovering the lost meaning behind door and window placement, the hearth, and the threshold, Lecouteux shares many tales of house spirits, from the offerings used to cajole the local land spirit into becoming the domestic house spirit to the good and bad luck bestowed upon those who seek the help of the “Little Money Man.” He draws on studies and classic literature from old Europe--from Celtic lands and Scandinavia to France and Germany to the far eastern borders of Europe and into Russia--to explain the pagan roots behind many of these traditions. Revealing our ancestors’ charms, prayers, and practices to bestow happiness and prosperity upon their homes, Lecouteux shows that we can invite the spirits back into our houses, old or new, and restore the sacred bond between home and inhabitant.

Download or read book Fortification and Settlement in Crusader Palestine written by Denys Pringle and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These studies examine the physical remains of Frankish settlement in Palestine in the 12th and 13th centuries. In recent years the view that Frankish settlement was largely confined to the fortified urban centres and castles, with few westerners venturing into the open countryside, has come to be challenged in the light of new archaeological evidence and re-examination of the sources. The present studies contribute to an understanding of the nature of Frankish settlement by illustrating aspects of the relationship between fortification and settlement: in particular, the role of castles and towers in promoting settlement and providing both security and domestic accommodation; the relationship between castles, towers and other semi-fortified rural structures; the physical planning of the new towns established by the canons of the Holy Sepulchre; the measures undertaken to defend urban settlements; and the contribution that town walls and castles made to the security of the kingdom.
