André Maurois tells the history of France as we have rarely read it. In a style as clear as it is concise, this story makes us understand “why France became France”. Written in the darkest hours of the 20th century, when the French were doubting themselves, it offers the joyful, positive, and glorious story of a Nation never completed. It is a masterpiece to be passed down between generations.
