A Spectator and Prospect Book of the Year
Winner of the American Library in Paris Book Award

'Ceaselessly interesting, knowledgeable and evocative' - Spectator
'A fresh way to write history' - Alan Johnson
_____
Original, knowledgeable and endlessly entertaining, France: An Adventure History is an unforgettable journey through France from the first century BC to the present day.
Drawn from countless new discoveries and thirty years of exploring France on foot, in the library and across 30,000 miles on the authorโs beloved bike. It begins with Gaulish and Roman times and ends in the age of #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, the Gilets Jaunes and Covid-19.
From the plains of Provence to the slums and boulevards of Paris, events and themes of French history may be familiar โ Louis XIV, the French Revolution, the French Resistance, the Tour de France โ but all are presented in a shining new light by Graham Robb.
Frequently hilarious, always surprising, this is a a vivid, living history of one of the worldโs most fascinating nations. It will make even seasoned Francophiles wonder if they really know that terra incognita which is currently referred to as โFranceโ.
