From the construction of Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower to the Fall of the
Bastille and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen to NapolZon
Bonaparte´s defeat at Waterloo to Albert Camus´ L´Etranger and the
existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre, France has been a part of some of the
greatest and most memorable events in human history. Author Gino Raymond
relates the history of these events in the second edition of The A to Z of
France. Through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and
hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on kings, politicians, authors,
architects, composers, artists, and philosophers, a thorough history of France
is presented.
