Great ladies did not trouble themselves to rise too early in those days, and a beauty who has been a beauty for twenty years was not more anxious then than now to face the unflattering freshness of the morning air. Laure de Montargis stirred in the shadow of her brocaded curtains, put out a white hand for the cup, sipped from it, murmured that the coffee was cold, and pushed it from her with a fretful exclamation that made Jeanne frown as she drew the tan-coloured curtains and let in the mid-day glare....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly orphaned Aline de Rochambeau travels to Paris to take refuge with a cousin before an arranged marriage. Fresh from a convent, Aline is at first unaware that her wordly cousin, Madame de Montargis, and Aline's unattractive fiance, Vicomte Selincourt, are lovers. Luckily, as both are unappealing, they are arrested and sentenced to the guillotine, where they die better than they lived. Friendless, Aline is rescued by a shrewd Frenchwoman who appropriates Aline's money and pearls, but feeds her, albeit as little as possible. Aline embroiders to support herself, and becomes the amanuensis of a very worthy young Republican, Jacques Dangeau, who is captivated by her quiet beauty although disapproving of her artistocratic background and beliefs. When Aline is reported to the police, Dangeau marries her to protect her life, but although she returns his affection she refuses to compromise her standards after he votes for the death of Louis XVI.

Book Synopsis France under the Directory by : Martyn Lyons
Download or read book France under the Directory written by Martyn Lyons and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1975-09-25 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 9 thermidor Year 2, Robespierre fell; on18 brumaire Year 8, a coup d'état brought Bonaparte to power. This book demonstrates that the interval between these two momentous events was also of crucial importance. Using the findings of recent research, it presents a balanced appraisal of the thermidorean and directorial regimes to the English student. For Jacobin sympathizers thermidor and the Directory represented the betrayal of the revolutionary idea; for Bonapartist propagandists it represented chaos and corruption, and the darker the Directory could be painted, the more Bonaparte's reputation would be flattered. Dr Lyons attempts to dispose of these myths. He stresses the Directory's successes as well as its failures, and emphasizes elements of continuity which link it both with the Jacobin regime and with the Consulate. The regime inherited a heavy burden of war, inflation and food shortages, yet it remained revolutionary in its Republicanism, its anticlericalism, and its desire to carry the fruits of the Revolution to the rest of Europe. At the same time it laid the foundations of financial stability and administrative efficiency on which Bonaparte was to build.
Book Synopsis The Canoe and the Saddle by : Theodore Winthrop
Download or read book The Canoe and the Saddle written by Theodore Winthrop and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-26 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Canoe and the Saddle is an adventure memoir by the American author Theodore Winthrop. It vividly describes Washington state's landscape and natural resources as well as the tumultuous relationship between Winthrop and the Native American people he interacted with. The Canoe and the Saddle presents a picturesque image of the Pacific Northwest and later inspired travelers, activists, and artists. Conflicting themes of nature and evolving civilization are at odds with each other in this novel. Winthrop's literary depiction of the Northwest, particularly Washington Territory, earned him great popularity. The town of Winthrop, Washington took on his name in 1890 as well as Mount Rainier's Winthrop Glacier due to his detailed descriptions of the landscape in his book.

Book Synopsis The Beauty and the Terror by : Catherine Fletcher
Download or read book The Beauty and the Terror written by Catherine Fletcher and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new account of the birth of the West through its birthplace--Renaissance Italy The period between 1492--resonant for a number of reasons--and 1571, when the Ottoman navy was defeated in the Battle of Lepanto, embraces what we know as the Renaissance, one of the most dynamic and creatively explosive epochs in world history. Here is the period that gave rise to so many great artists and figures, and which by its connection to its classical heritage enabled a redefinition, even reinvention, of human potential. It was a moment both of violent struggle and great achievement, of Michelangelo and da Vinci as well as the Borgias and Machiavelli. At the hub of this cultural and intellectual ferment was Italy. The Beauty and the Terror offers a vibrant history of Renaissance Italy and its crucial role in the emergence of the Western world. Drawing on a rich range of sources--letters, interrogation records, maps, artworks, and inventories--Catherine Fletcher explores both the explosion of artistic expression and years of bloody conflict between Spain and France, between Catholic and Protestant, between Christian and Muslim; in doing so, she presents a new way of witnessing the birth of the West.
