2.The Discovery of FranceThe Discovery of France
from Picador
Price: £9.49

Customer Review:
I must admit I was seduced by the wonderful cover photo of Mont-Saint-Michel, and the title which suggests a romantic travel book, where the local peculiarities are grounded in the authors knowledge of local history - something like a H.V.Morton's Traveller in Italy for today (and for France).more info

Price: £6.99

Customer Review:
It is difficult to imagine a better biography: informed, objective and superbly written.

Customer Review:
When Mister Graham Robb started his book on homosexual love in the 19th century he was suddenly faced with prejudices he never expected to learn from his friends and colleagues.

6.BalzacBalzac
from Picador
Price: £7.00

Customer Review:

9.Baudelaire
from Hamish Hamilton Ltd

Customer Review:
A very useful introduction to Baudelaire's life and poetry.

The poetry quotations are presented in original French and translated (Graham Robb's valiant efforts - but which is the definitive Baudelaire in English?)as footnotes.

The poet appears as a mass of contradictions - impeccably dressed... more info
