The Discover of France a Historical Geography
|
|
France is often regarded as the center of elegant
civilization, so it's surprising to find that as late as
1890, most of the population was
far from civilized—outside of Paris,
as biographer
Robb explains in his riveting exploration of France's
historical geography. . . .
From $12.00
They
spoke not French but regional dialects; much of the
country had not been accurately mapped; and many in the
rural areas lacked surnames. The author himself embarked
on a 14,000-mile bicycle tour of the France passed over
in tourist guides. The result is a curious, engrossing
mix of personal observation, scholarly diligence and
historical narrative as Robb discusses the formation of
both the French character and the French state. Robb's
biographies of Victor Hugo, Rimbaud and Balzac were all
selected by the New York Times as among the best books
of the year, an accolade that assures a select
readership will be eager to pack his newest alongside
their Michelin guides. 8 pages of b&w illus, maps.

This isn’t a dream. You can actually spend the night in
an authentic French château or manor house, one with all
the personal care of a bed-and-breakfast. For centuries,
the country’s small châteaux have remained secret,
closed to all but the families of the owners. But in
recent years, in efforts to generate revenue for
preservation, many families are throwing open the doors
and inviting the public in to stay. French Country
Hideaways takes you inside 35 of these hidden gems where
you can experience true French country living.
Imagine awakening in a castle. You slip out of your
poster bed, open
a French window and step onto a stone balcony.
Taking in the view of the surrounding vineyards that
slope down to a quaint tile-roofed village in the misty
river valley below.
At these châteaux d’hôte you will meet the
owner-innkeeper and get to know the individual spirit of

"Yes, noisy, bustling Paris has its quiet corners, and
this attractive book describes them in loving detail.
Most of the places mentioned here are out of doors and
open to the public. The places range from museum
courtyards and royal gardens to 15th Century cloisters
and tiny passageways to the back streets and lanes of
the various neighborhoods. Some famous sites are here
(Luxembourg Gardens) but so are unknown treasures such
as the Irish Cultural Center, or Paris' lesser-known
islands. And few places are as quiet as the city's

Vienna - A Cultural HIstory
From border garrison of
the Roman Empire to magnificent Baroque seat of the
Hapsburgs, Vienna's fortunes swung between survival and
expansion. By the late nineteenth century it had become
the western capital of the sprawling Austro-Hungarian
Monarchy, but the twentieth century saw it degraded to a
'hydrocephalus' cut off from its former economic
hinterland. After the inglorious Nazi interlude, Vienna
began the long climb back to the prosperous and
cultivated city of 1.7 million inhabitants that it is
today. Subjected to constant infusions of new, Vienna
has both assimilated and resisted cultural influences
from outside, creating its own sui generis culture.

Danube
More than a thoroughfare linking Europe and Asia, the
Danube, for Magris, is symbol and nourisher of a
hinterland, a Germanic/Magyar/Slavic/Jewish/Central
European culture counterpoised to northern and western
Europe. As he follows the river from the Bavarian hills
to the Black Sea, lingering at villages, castles,
Viennese cafes, ancient ruins and cemeteries, the
author, a professor of German literature at the
University of Trieste, offers a sustained, rich, often
profound meditation on diverse themes: the tension
between Greco-Roman and Teutonic civilization, the roots
of fascism, Napoleon as a personification of modern,
clashing nationalisms, etc. We read of Hapsburg splendor
and decline, Nazi evil, Slavic soul-searching, Rumania
as melting-pot of races and cultures. This sequence of
stately tableaux is steeped in cultural and historical
references to the likes of Kafka and Kepler, Haydn,
Heidegger, Elias Canetti, George Konrad, Vasko Popa.

Prague A Cultural and Literary History
[Cities of the Imagination]
Located at the very center of Europe, Prague has been on
the frontline of international political, intellectual,
religious, and cultural conflicts for more than six
centuries. Invaded and occupied by the Habsburgs, the
Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Nazis, and then Communist
Russia, the city s identity is shaped by a long
experience of foreign domination and a strong sense of
martyrdom.
A treasure house of Gothic, baroque, and modernist
architecture, Prague is also a city of icons and
symbols: statues, saints and signs reveal a turbulent
history of religious and cultural conflict. As Kafka s
nightmare city and home of the Good Soldier _vejk, the
Czech capital also produced two of the twentieth century
s emblematic writers. Richard Burton explores this
metropolis of theatrical allusion, in which politics and
drama have always been intertwined. His interpretation
of the city s cultural past and present encompasses
opera and rock music, puppetry and cinema, surrealism
and socialist realism. Looking at Prague s world-famous
landmarks and lesser-known sites, his reading of the
city through its writing and iconography is both
perceptive and challenging.

Prague in Black and Gold
Readers who have visited Prague, one of the most
gorgeous cities in Europe, may wish now, after having
combed travel guides before their trip, to follow up
with some reading on Prague's history; but unless they
are serious about learning the subject, this book is
best left alone. On the other hand, readers other than
casual ones will find the development of Prague
absorbingly chronicled here. This "history of a European
city built over many centuries by Czechs, Germans, Jews,
and Italians" presents both essential and colorful
detail of the evolution of the kingdom of Bohemia, from
mythical origins to Austrian domination to the
post^-World War I flowering of independence and
democracy. Demetz writes of such interesting
personalities as King Charles IV, who put Prague on the
map; Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, odd and fascinating;
Jan Hus, religious reformer; and Thomas Masaryk,
internationally esteemed president of the first Czech
republic. Of course, history buffs who have never been
to Prague will still relish what is offered here.

An isolated and remote
country unspoiled by mass
tourism, Burma is for the
adventurous traveler, not the
average tourist. Travel the
great Ayeyawady River to
Kipling’s Mandalay, the last of
Burma’s royal capitals, explore
the exotic Inle Lake and, of
course, meet the people of this
richly varied land, from the
northern hill tribes to the
amiable Burmese themselves. The
river is a source of continuity
and hope in a country at odds
with itself. As it emerges from
isolation, the nation of Myanmar
is caught between repression and
reform, dark and light. For
armchair travelers and
adventurers alike, this guide
intelligently evokes the magic
and mystery of what was once the
richest nation in Asia. 87
