Book excerpt: Charlemagne a-t-il inventé l'école ? Y-a-t-il un secret des Templiers ? Jeanne d'Arc a-t-elle sauvé la France ? Marignan fut-elle une victoire si importante ? Marie-Antoinette fut-elle une ravissante idiote ? Y-a-t-il eu un génocide vendéen ? Jean Moulin a-t-il été trahi ? La France est-elle malade de la guerre d'Algérie ? Des Gaulois, nos prétendus ancêtres, à la vie politique la plus récente, notre histoire est truffée de lieux communs, de légendes, d'idées reçues, d'erreurs gravées dans le marbre par l'écriture d'un roman national au 19ème qui a coïncidé avec l'apparition des manuels scolaires de la IIIe République. Laurent Avezou revisite 2000 ans d'histoire et cent mythes qui ont fait la France, en en décortiquant les raisons et les origines. A l'aune des derniers travaux d'historiens, il apporte des réponses claires, simples et précises. Il fait ainsi toute la lumière sur un récit souvent sujet à caution et à polémiques. L'histoire de France est une oeuvre en perpétuelle évolution, ce sont ces évolutions sur un patrimoine transmis par l'école que nous vous invitons à découvrir.

Download or read book Henri IV of France written by Vincent J. Pitts and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2009-01-05 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vincent J. Pitts chronicles the life and times of one of France’s most remarkable kings in the first English-language biography of Henri IV to be published in twenty-five years. An unwelcome heir to the throne, Henri ruled over a kingdom plagued by religious civil war and political and economic instability. By the end of his reign in 1610 he had pacified his warring country, restored its prosperity, and reclaimed France’s place as a leading power in Europe. Pitts draws upon the rich scholarship of recent decades to tell the captivating story of this pivotal French king. From boyhood, Henri was destined to be leader and protector of the Huguenot movement in France. He served as chief of the Calvinist party and fought for the Huguenot forces in the bloody Wars of Religion before an extraordinary sequence of dynastic mishaps left the Protestant warlord next in line for the French crown. Henri was forced to renounce his faith in support of his claim to the Catholic throne and to unite his deeply divided country. A master of political maneuvering, Henri restored order to a country in the throes of great religious, political, and economic upheaval. He was assassinated in 1610 by a Catholic zealot. Vincent Pitts expertly recounts this history and skillfully untangles its complex set of personalities and events. Pitts engages the vast amount of literature relating to the king himself as well as the large body of recent scholarship on France during this time. The result is a fascinating biography of a French king and a comprehensive history of sixteenth-century France.
Download or read book History and Myth in Romanian Consciousness written by Lucian Boia and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a considerable difference between real history and discourse history - this book stems from this idea. The author points out that history is constantly reconstructed, adapted and sometimes mythified from the perspective of the present day, of present states of mind and ideologies. Boia closely examines the process of historical culture and conscience in nineteenth and twentieth century Romania, particularly concentrating on the impact of the national ideology on history. Based upon his findings, the author identifies several key mythical configurations and analyses the manner in which Romanians have reconstituted their own highly ideologized history over the last two centuries. The strength of History and Myth in Romanian Consciousness lies in the author's ability to fully deconstruct the entire Romanian historiographic system and demonstrate the increasing acuteness of national problems in general, and in particular the exploitation of history to support national ideology.
Download or read book Les grandes l gendes de France written by Édouard Schuré and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-08-29 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre, qui va des sommets des Vosges aux Landes de Bretagne et jusqu’à la pointe extrême du Finistère, a été un voyage à la découverte de l’Âme celtique. L’Âme celtique est l’âme intérieure et profonde de la France. Elle n’a cessé de parler par les héros, les poètes et les penseurs de la France. Je l’ai cherchée ici, à sa source, dans quelques-unes de nos vieilles légendes et dans les paysages qui furent leur berceau.En adoptant pour ce livre le titre de Grandes Légendes de France, j’ai la conscience de n’avoir fait que peu de pas dans un vaste domaine. Jusqu’à présent, la légende n’a été guère chez nous qu’un objet d’érudition ou de fantaisie. Mais souvent les fils oublieux ne se souviennent plus de leurs ancêtres. J’ai tenté de faire revivre ces premiers prophètes de notre race, qui savaient le passé et voyaient l’avenir, parce qu’ils vivaient dans l’Éternel-Présent.Par les « grandes légendes de France », je voudrais qu’on entende celles qui, dépassant l’intérêt local, ont quelque rapport avec le développement national de la France et prennent une valeur symbolique dans son histoire, parce qu’elles représentent un élément essentiel de son âme collective.

Download or read book The Colonial Legacy in France written by Nicolas Bancel and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debates about the legacy of colonialism in France are not new, but they have taken on new urgency in the wake of recent terrorist attacks. Responding to acts of religious and racial violence in 2005, 2010, and 2015 and beyond, the essays in this volume pit French ideals against government-sponsored revisionist decrees that have exacerbated tensions, complicated the process of establishing and recording national memory, and triggered divisive debates on what it means to identify as French. As they document the checkered legacy of French colonialism, the contributors raise questions about France and the contemporary role of Islam, the banlieues, immigration, race, history, pedagogy, and the future of the Republic. This innovative volume reconsiders the cultural, economic, political, and social realities facing global French citizens today and includes contributions by Achille Mbembe, Benjamin Stora, Françoise Vergès, Alec Hargreaves, Elsa Dorlin, and Alain Mabanckou, among others.
Download or read book Alexandre Dumas as a French Symbol since 1870 written by Eric Martone and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth-century writer Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870), author of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, has been a controversial part of the French patrimony, and faced various forms of racial prejudice in France because of his biracial ancestry and due to being a descendant of a slave. During the late nineteenth century, the rise of scientific racism and aggressive European imperialism resulted in worldviews supporting European superiority and equated “European” with being “white.” Such developments complicated perceptions of Dumas as part of the French patrimony. French intellectuals and politicians from the late nineteenth-century onward created their own imaginative visions of what Dumas had represented in order to employ them ideologically to support or counter prevailing mainstream views of French history and identity. This collection traces the evolution of Dumas’s legacy as a controversial symbol of France since 1870, as the nation has struggled to deal with colonialism and its aftermath, and increased diversity and globalization.
