Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young People's History of France No country has given birth to more wicked or to better men; no nation has been so pitilessly humiliated or exalted to more dizzying heights of glory. Her dreamers have turned dreams into materialities her realities have dissolved into baseless visions; she has gone down in blood and flame to the lowest depths of despair and then leaped to a height that made all the world wonder; she is great to-day and in her history are to be found lessons of absorbing interest, of amazing length and breadth and of profound and far-reaching im portance to mankind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French History for English Children The country which we now call France was not always called so, nor were the people who live in it always called the French. When it is first mentioned, which is in old Latin books written more than 1800 years ago, it is called Gallia, or Gaul, and the people are spoken of as Gauls. Gaul was in some respects the same as France is now, and in some respects very different. It was the same, or nearly the same, in its mountains, rivers, and some of the chief towns it was different in its roads, fields, villages, and, more than all, in the people who lived in it. 'when I say that some of the towns were the same, I do not mean that they look the same now as they did then, but that the Gauls had towns in many of the places where the French now have them, and that they have lasted with almost the same names ever Since.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Growth of the French Nation IN more than one age of the past, the French nation has been the leading nation of the world, whether one means by that the most powerful of the nations or the leader of the world in the arts of civilization. If it seems to us improbable that France should ever again occupy the commanding position which has sometimes been hers in the past, the fact does not diminish the interest with which we must regard her history. To the American people especially, occupying the continent which she so nearly made her own, and influenced, as we have been, in peculiar ways by her history, the story of the French people can hardly be of inferior interest to that of our own mother country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bonaparte, and the French People Under His Consulate The circumstances attending the publication of the present work excite peculiar interest. It appeared in Germany a short time since: its sale was uncommonly rapid; but no sooner did it reach the First Consul, than he exerted his influence with the Continental Powers, and every where succeeded in obtaining its suppression. Bonaparte has hitherto been but imperfectly known; and as his influence is not likely to cause its interdiction here, the world may yet have an opportunity of forming an estimate of the man, whose political successes have so materially contributed to agitate Europe. It may be necessary to observe, that several quotations from public orators, as well as extracts from some French pamphlets, which were interspersed in the original, are here given as an appendix.

Indeed, one might almost have mistaken the man for the animal at a little dis tance, for they both wore coverings of Skins and never combed their hair; but when you saw the human being drinking out Of a cup formed from the skull of his enemy, then you knew he must be a man, for wild beasts are not so revengeful.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the French People We all know that France was originally called Gaul, and its first inhabitants, our ancestors, were called Gauls. I will explain how they came to be called French. The blood which flows in our veins is not pure Gallic blood; for our ancestors were twice conquered, - first, by the Romans; afterwards, by the Germans. Both nations established themselves by force in our country, married here, and had children, so that the descendents of conquerors and conquered were united, forming one people; hence we come from three sources, - the Gauls, Romans, and Germans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Le Beau Pays De France This book is intended as a reader for students who have covered the elements of French grammar. The average student of French comes to the study of the language with very few ideas about France, her people, her traditions, her heroes, her legends, or anything that makes for a back ground or an interest to direct or inspire his study of the language. It would seem worth while, early in the work, to give him some cultural interest in the country whose language he is attempting to learn; to lead him beyond the four walls of the classroom; to broaden his vision by awakening his interest in the life of another people; and to give him a few.general ideas which may induce him to extend his studies. He cannot, early in his course, read French books of literary merit which will give him the ideals and spirit of the country. Frequently a knowledge of France and her people comes only after years of study, whereas such knowledge, even in very simple form, if preceding a reading of literature, would broaden the student's comprehension and make his reading richer and more profitable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from France Bears the Burden My dear Major Fortescue: That which, in my opinion, gives special value to your book on France in war time, is that you have not been content only to gather therein the excellent articles sent by you from Paris and the Front to the Washington Post, but you also, from your observations and experiences, develop a picture of the whole subject. Yours is the work of the historian. To your vivid and accurate articles, to your accounts of the fighting on the Somme, at Verdun, in the Argonne, you have added a methodical delineation, exact and instructive, of the organization and practice of war as developed in France during three years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Stories of France The Child needs the background of history as an aid to the interpretation of his experience and for the understanding of current events. In our cosmopolitan life, since we are in Close touch with all peoples and are constantly hearing about them, there is need at least of the simplest elementary facts in the history of the great nations. The French people have held such 'a central position in the world's affairs, and have contributed so much to civilization, that the young student should at an early stage possess himself of the outlines of their history. He is then enabled to put together the past and present of that interesting country and to view the one in the light of the other. Then, too, the fact that French is the first foreign language which American children are expected to study is another valid reason for placing before them In its most interesting form the main facts of French history.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Julia's story of her transformative years in France in her own words is "captivating ... her marvelously distinctive voice is present on every page.” (San Francisco Chronicle). Although she would later singlehandedly create a new approach to American cuisine with her cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her television show The French Chef, Julia Child was not always a master chef. Indeed, when she first arrived in France in 1948 with her husband, Paul, who was to work for the USIS, she spoke no French and knew nothing about the country itself. But as she dove into French culture, buying food at local markets and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, her life changed forever with her newfound passion for cooking and teaching. Julia’s unforgettable story—struggles with the head of the Cordon Bleu, rejections from publishers to whom she sent her now-famous cookbook, a wonderful, nearly fifty-year long marriage that took the Childs across the globe—unfolds with the spirit so key to Julia’s success as a chef and a writer, brilliantly capturing one of America’s most endearing personalities.
