Story
Charles de Gaulle stands among the greatest statesmen in history. Even after the official French government collapsed under the weight of Nazi Germany, de Gaulle refused to accept defeat. He and his followers were pushed into exile, but still they fought on, never losing sight of an eventual victory over their oppressors. This book delves into Charles de Gaulle’s extraordinary journey—from leading the Free French forces during World War II to playing a key role in the rebuilding of postwar France.

Story
In April 1929, the body of British artist Olive Branson was found submerged in a water tank outside her farmhouse in a picturesque Provence village. Dressed only in a pink shirt and stockings, she had a bullet hole between her eyes and a revolver by her side. Was it suicide – or murder? The initial investigation concluded suicide, but under pressure from Olive’s family to conduct a murder enquiry, city detective Alexandre Guibbal was brought in to reopen the case.

Story
When the leaders of the French Revolution executed Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette in 1793, they sent a chilling message to the hereditary ruling orders in Europe. Believing that monarchy anywhere presented a threat to democratic rule in France, the leaders of the revolution declared war on European aristocracies, including those of Great Britain. For more than 20 years thereafter, France and England waged a protracted war that ended in British victory.

Story
One of the towering figures of the age was Jean Jacques Rousseau, whose works were essential to the ideological developments of the 18th century. The prestige of French literature in the 18th century resides especially in its revolutionary character; while the writers of the previous century used to support the social order through their works and showed sympathy and even attempted to explain the political order of the time.

Story
Les rois de France en majesté. Il ne s'agit pas d'une histoire de la monarchie française, mais de celle de " nos rois " : ceux dont le règne a le plus marqué l'histoire nationale. Si Franck Ferrand évoque, par souci de clarté et de filiation, les premiers (jusqu'au début de la dynastie capétienne) et les derniers monarques (jusqu'à Louis-Philippe), il s'attache principalement à raconter la vie et l'œuvre de quatorze d'entre eux, depuis Philippe-Auguste jusqu'à Louis XVI.

Story
The French Revolution is incredibly complex and involves a lot of moving parts, from the monarchy to the political clubs, from the intelligentsia to the starving peasantry protesting in the streets. This audiobook breaks it down for you in simple terms. It could be argued that the French Revolution is the perfect example of a social movement that began with the best of intentions yet somehow went wrong.

Un événement fondateur : la Révolution française, racontée par un grand historien : Emmanuel de Waresquiel, à travers un prisme original : 7 jours et 5 décrets. "Les commencements de la Révolution sont ceux d'une extraordinaire accélération de l'histoire. Les événements s'y bousculent dans un luxe d'acteurs, d'envolées, de confusion et de coups de théâtre. Ce qui s'est passé à ce moment-là n'est intelligible que si l'on restitue les faits dans une séquence fondatrice.

Story
In the late 18th century, as political unrest stirred in the heart of Paris, local residents of the neighborhoods surrounding the city’s urban cemeteries faced a pressing crisis: The putrefying stink of rotting corpses, many of which were likely friends and family members, crept into every house and business due to overflowing burial grounds. The city’s population had long since outgrown its centuries-old cemeteries, and mass graves packed tightly with corpses lay open for months at a time, sometimes upwards of a year, as they waited for more bodies to join.

Story
Longtemps sous-estimé par les historiens qui se représentaient le roi de France comme un monarque absolutiste dépassé par les événements et incapable d’en prendre la mesure, Louis XVI est présenté par Aurore Chéry comme un monarque adepte des idées républicaines et déterminé lui aussi à mener une lutte contre l’aristocratie. Au fil de la thèse novatrice de l’historienne, nous découvrons un Louis XVI proche des idées des patriotes américains, désireux de se détacher de l’influence de la cour et, en cela, projeté dans notre modernité politique.

Story
Nous avons tous appris un jour que Clovis était le premier des rois de France. Qui sait qu'en Allemagne, il est considéré comme un roi allemand ? De Saint Louis, on garde l'image d'un grand souverain, rendant la justice sous son chêne. On ignore qu'il imposa aux Juifs de porter l'équivalent de l'étoile jaune. Jeanne d'Arc est la grande héroïne du Moyen Âge. Pourquoi a-t-on oublié toutes les autres ? Nombreux sont les Français qui s'intéressent à notre passé, nombreux aussi ceux qui se désolent de mal le connaître.

An important chapter in history is that in which the Catholic Church was being questioned by the commoners. People were standing up against tyranny and illogical rules. They had had it with hypocrisy and double standards. The abuse in the church wasn’t representing the text in the Bible. Too much corruption had crept into the clergy, or so the narrative went about across the entire European continent.
