Books by Theodore (Fellow Zeldin

This survey is a major reinterpretation of France's achievement as a nation and of the individual experience of the French, which has taken its place as one of the great works of scholarship on modern France.

This is a history of the French, which tries to explain their idiosyncrasies, enthusiasms and prejudices. This first part scrutinizes the way of thinking and of talking adopted by the French, their sense of national identity, and their ambivalent feelings about foreigners.
