Book excerpt: Retrouvez dans ce livre tout l'univers merveilleux de la Riviera ! En recueillant, à la fin du XIXe siècle, les récits populaires sur la côte et dans l'arrière-pays, de la bouche même des habitants et dans leur propre langue, James Bruyn Andrews a entrepris une véritable œuvre de conservation de la littérature orale et des traditions de notre région. Nous reproduisons - dans leur intégralité - les contes qu'Andrews fit paraître en 1892 sous le nom de Contes ligures, mais aussi, en annexe, plusieurs autres contes, proverbes, coutumes et chansons collectés aux alentours de Menton qui furent publiés épars dans des revues. Quel précieux éclairage nous offrent notamment ces " Traditions, superstitions et coutumes du Mentonnais " sur les croyances des habitants de Menton et du haut pays à l'époque où J. B. Andrews recueillait ses contes ! La partie consacrée aux êtres surnaturels - matagan, magou et autre masca (sorcière) - atteste que ce type de superstitions avaient encore bien cours en cette fin de XIXe siècle... Enfants et adultes seront enchantés par l'éternelle jeunesse de ces contes traditionnels où la fantaisie et l'humour de nos conteurs et - le plus souvent - conteuses sont toujours présents.
Book Synopsis Operation Dragoon by : Jean-Loup Gassend
Download or read book Operation Dragoon written by Jean-Loup Gassend and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the night of August 14-15, 1944, the First Airborne Task Force, which included the U.S. 509th, 517th and 551st Parachute Infantry Regiments, jumped into enemy held territory spearheading Operation Dragoon, the Allied invasion of southern France. Based on interviews from all combatant units, battlefield archaeology, period photos, letters and reports, this book provides an outstandingly detailed hour-by-hour account of the advance through southern France, as seen through the eyes of those who lived through it, bringing to light the tragic and gruesome realities of what was later to become known as the "Champagne Campaign."
Book Synopsis The Killing Fields of Provence by : James Bourhill
Download or read book The Killing Fields of Provence written by James Bourhill and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2020-02-19 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the German occupation of France during World War II, the French resistance, and ultimately the nation’s liberation. In the south of France, the most memorable event of World War II was the sea and airborne invasion of August 15, 1944. Perhaps because it went relatively smoothly, this “Second D-Day” was soon relegated to the back pages of history. Operation Dragoon and the liberation are, however, only a small part of the story. The arrival of the Allies was preceded by years of suffering and sacrifice under Hitléro-Vichyssois oppression. Provençale people still struggle to come to terms with the painful past of split-allegiances and empty stomachs that epitomize les années noirs (the dark years). Deportations, requisitions, forced labor, and hunger provoked resistance by a courageous minority. Many actively colluded with the enemy, but most just waited for better days. By sea and air, Allied agents and special forces were infiltrated to fan the flames, but wherever the Resistance arose prematurely, the reprisals from the Nazis and their auxiliaries were ferocious. In every corner of Provence, one can find words chipped into stone: Passant, souviens-toi (passer-by, remember). It is hard to imagine such cruelty could have existed here less than one generation ago. These memories here tell a story of duplicity, defiance, and ultimately, deliverance. Whether the stuff of legends, or the experiences of everyday humans, humanity is used to explain the Franco-American experience of wartime Provence, as seen through an Anglo-Saxon prism. “A complete and well-researched study of the French Resistance groups, Allied agents and Special Forces operating against the Germans in the South of France.” —Firetrench

Book Synopsis Forensic Archaeology by : W. J. Mike Groen
Download or read book Forensic Archaeology written by W. J. Mike Groen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forensic archaeology is mostly defined as the use of archaeological methods and principles within a legal context. However, such a definition only covers one aspect of forensic archaeology and misses the full potential this discipline has to offer. This volume is unique in that it contains 57 chapters from experienced forensic archaeological practitioners working in different countries, intergovernmental organisations or NGO’s. It shows that the practice of forensic archaeology varies worldwide as a result of diverse historical, educational, legal and judicial backgrounds. The chapters in this volume will be an invaluable reference to (forensic) archaeologists, forensic anthropologists, humanitarian and human rights workers, forensic scientists, police officers, professionals working in criminal justice systems and all other individuals who are interested in the potential forensic archaeology has to offer at scenes of crime or places of incident. This volume promotes the development of forensic archaeology worldwide. In addition, it proposes an interpretative framework that is grounded in archaeological theory and methodology, integrating affiliated behavioural and forensic sciences.
