A fresh provocative history that renews our understanding of France in the world through short incisive essays ranging from prehistoric frescoes to Coco Chanel to the terrorist attacks of 2015. 'A major work exhaustive controversial and fresh' The Guardian Bringing together an impressive group of established and up-and-coming historians this bestselling history conceives of France not as a fixed rooted entity but instead as a place and an idea in flux moving beyond all borders and frontiers shaped by exchanges and mixtures. Presented in chronological order from 34 000 BC to 2015 each chapter covers a significant year from its own particular angle - the marriage of a Viking leader to a Carolingian princess proposed by Charles the Fat in 882 the Persian embassy's reception at the court of Louis XIV in 1715 the Chilean coup d'état against President Salvador Allende in 1973 that mobilised a generation of French left-wing activists. France in the World combines the intellectual rigour of an academic work with the liveliness and readability of popular history. With a brand-new preface aimed at an international audience this English-language edition will inspire Francophiles and scholars alike.
