This survey is a major reinterpretation of France's achievement as a nation and of the individual experience of the French, which has taken its place as one of the great works of scholarship on modern France.

This is a history of the French, which attempts to explain their idiosyncrasies, enthusiasms, and prejudices. It goes beyond a mere recital of events to investigate the attitudes and behavior over an unusually wide range of activities. The first part scrutinizes the peculiar way of thinking and of talking adopted by the French and their ambivalent feelings about foreigners. It shows what it meant to be a Breton or a Provencal, an Alsatian, or ...

First published in hardcover as a monumental two-volume study, and called "a brilliant and original work, and a classic" by Mavis Gallant in The New York Times Book Review, Theodore Zeldin's France, 1848-1945 is now available in a five-volume paperback edition.

In questo trattato Theodore Zeldin prende l'avvio da una constatazione in apparenza molto semplice: qual è il meglio che la vita può offrirci nel nostro mondo attuale, così iniquo, violento, inquinato e corrotto? E cosa possiamo fare come individui, coppie, collettività per immaginare una nuova arte del vivere? Tale ricerca ha a che fare con il piacere, con i piaceri smarriti a causa della vita abitudinaria, della pigrizia intellettuale, della...

Do you want better conversations with your lover, your colleagues at work, your family, friends or strangers, or yourself? Conversation explains what kind of talk charmed and excited people in the past, and why we talk differently today. It explores the art and the history of conversation and how it can be the key to a happier, more interesting future. It shows how women have changed the ways lovers speak, how families avoid silence or boredom...

La conversazione è, oltre a tante altre cose, un gioco di lettura del pensiero e un enigma. Dobbiamo costantemente fare delle congetture sul perché gli altri dicano una certa cosa. Non sappiamo mai quando le parole si metteranno a ballare insieme, le opinioni ad accarezzarsi, le immaginazioni a spogliarsi, gli argomenti ad aprirsi. Ma se lo vogliamo possiamo diventare più agili. La conversazione, come l'amore può essere stimolata dal gioco del...
