Kratkaia istoriia Frantsii - Norvich Dzh.

The famous British historian and author John Norwich gives a comprehensive overview of the past of the country, which has made for European culture more than any other state.

"The history of France is not only Napoleon, Joan of Arc and Louis XIV. I will tell you about the fate of the unfortunate Templars in the hands of the odious Philip the Beautiful and the events that happened to his daughters in the Liel Tower; about the beautiful Madame de Pompadour and the controversial Madame de Mentenon; louis-Philippe, almost forgotten today, but probably the best king in the history of the country; and that's just the beginning. The first chapter will accompany us from the Gauls and Julius Caesar to Charlemagne at a rapid pace, spanning about eight centuries. The last chapter will tell about five years of the Second World War - 1945 ends one era and begins a new one." (John Norwich)
