{"product_id":"a-history-of-france","title":"A History Of France","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Julius Norwich--called a \"true master of narrative history\" by Simon Sebag Montefiore--returns with the book he has spent his distinguished career wanting to write, A History of France a portrait of the past two centuries of the country he loves best. Beginning with Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul in the first century BC, this study of French history comprises a cast of legendary characters--Charlemagne, Louis XIV, Napoleon, Joan of Arc and Marie Antionette, to name a few--as Norwich chronicles France's often violent, always fascinating history. From the French Revolution--after which neither France, nor the world, would be the same again--to the storming of the Bastille, from the Vichy regime and the Resistance to the end of the Second World War, A History of France is packed with heroes and villains, battles and rebellion, stories so enthralling that Norwich declared, \"I can honestly say that I have never enjoyed writing a book more.\" With his celebrated stylistic panache and expert command of detail, Norwich writes in an inviting, intimate tone, and with a palpable affection for France. One of our greatest contemporary historians has deftly crafted a comprehensive yet concise portrait of the country's historical sweep. \u003cbr\u003e\n Dimensions:152 x 229  \u003cbr\u003e\n Author: John Julius Norwich \u003cbr\u003e\n ISBN: 9780802147776 \u003cbr\u003e\n Format:  \u003cbr\u003e\n Pages 400\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44902033948825,"sku":"10RA9780802147776","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/afba4101285cbe787636e1b9a5395d6b.jpg?v=1729179620","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/a-history-of-france","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
