Istoriia Frantsii - pod red.Karpant

The book presented to the reader does not deserve to be called "regular" history of France - if only because it was written by a team of five major French historians, recognized experts in their field. Only the highest professionalism and skill of historians helped them to present the entire history of France - from the origins of the 20th century - in one volume.

Authors managed to create a colossal historical canvas, capturing the main events, characters, deep socio-economic and cultural processes of French history.

The venerable French historian Jacques Le Goff, who wrote the foreword to the book, considered one of its undoubted merits the fact that it does not close on France itself, but presents it in a broad international context, brings to the fore not only frozen political structures, but also the main actors - the French on the way to the formation of the French state and nation.

A rich and at the same time fascinating narrative makes the book interesting for all who, out of curiosity or professional reasons, will want to get acquainted with the history of France.

For students, teachers and a wide readership.
