Download or read book French Letters written by George East and published by la Puce Publications. This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George East is by far one of the funniest story tellers and raconteurs on the planet today and the third book in the best-selling MILL OF THE FLEA series, continuing the often farcical and always entertaining adventures of the author and his wife as they attempt to make a new life in rural France. Totally unlike any other book in the genre, FRENCH LETTERS takes the reader on another visit to a remote area of Normandy where time is of little value and reluctant tractors (and their drivers) are kick-started on frosty mornings with a tot of moonshine apple brandy. During another eventful year at the Mill of the Flea, the author and his wife once again encounter a host of improbable characters and situations, like the vegetarian couple who set up home next to a veal farm and an elderly post-mistress who grows highly illegal pot plants while enticing a colony of hornets to set up home in her attic...ReviewsGeorge's tremendous love of life shows in all the couple's exploits, as does Donella's affection for George and her animals (shared fifty-fifty one surmises). There's a lot of wisdom in this book, or a lot of sound sense if you prefer it. I just wish he could write them a bit quicker. --R.Roller.JCBJust read 'French Letters', what fun. George East's first book, 'Home and Dry in France' was my first encounter with this hilarious author. His second book, 'Rene and Me' confirmed his genius and I didn't think he could pull off a hat trick - but he has. 'French Letters' is so funny, from a bingo game in Nehou to the Tour de France, all the familiar characters are there, you must meet the Miserables, what a scream, I laughed all the way through. Encore s'il vous plait --J.Bean NY Whistler

Download or read book Writing the Revolution written by Lindsay A. H. Parker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing the Revolution is a microhistory of a middle-class Parisian woman, Rosalie Jullien, whose nearly 1,000 familiar letters have never before been studied. The Jullien name is not new to histories of the French Revolution. Rosalie's son, Marc-Antoine, known in the family as Jules, was closely connected to the Committee of Public Safety during the Reign of Terror. However, despite being the wife and mother of revolutionary elites, Rosalie led a private life. Connected to the Revolution in very personal ways, she was also distanced from the lime light because of her gender and her proclivity for modesty. Her correspondence allows readers to enter her private world and see the intellectual, emotional, and familial life of a revolutionary in all of its complexity. The prevailing thesis in the field holds that the revolutionary elite constructed the New Regime against women, effectively excluding them from the political sphere, although nearly every existing study of women has approached the subject through oblique sources and mostly male voices. Rosalie Jullien's long missives to her husband and son, however, document her relationship to politics as she explained it. Despite never seeking a public role, Rosalie developed a political identity that included a revolutionized understanding of womanhood. Writing the Revolution builds on the innovative scholarship on the history of the family during the Revolution and demonstrates how the family sphere was revolutionized even in cases where the wife maintained a traditional family role. Jullien's correspondence boasts many values as an artifact of the Revolutionary experience, of women's lives, and of epistolary culture. Rosalie demonstrates the individual's experience within the evolving structures of a modernizing state, family, and gender identity. The period covered spans from 1775 to 1810. A portrayal of Rosalie's early married life, and the decade she spent with her husband and children in a small town north of Grenoble, begins the book, and is followed by a chapter on the couple's reading practices and their views toward religion prior to the Revolution. The heart of the research focuses on Rosalie's life and experiences in Revolutionary Paris and her decision, in the aftermath of the Terror, to emphasize private, domestic life over politics.
