Synopsis
Discover a European country through the eyes of an outsider who chose it as home.
Robert Dell shares thoughtful reflections on France after the Great War, blending personal experience with sharp analysis of politics, society, and national character. This edition offers a clear, accessible look at how war reshaped French life and what lies ahead for reconstruction and reform.
Dell writes with sympathy and curiosity about the people of France, from factory floors to village classrooms. He argues that political debates and old-style conservatism have held back progress, while also highlighting the resilience and reform-minded energy he sees in the French. The book invites readers to consider how economic and social forces shape a nation’s choices, and why France’s path after 1919 matters to the world.
What you’ll encounter:
- A first-hand account of postwar France from an intimate, long‑term perspective.
- An analysis of how politics, economics, and culture influence national revival.
- Observations on the relationships between government, religion, and society.
- Reflections on the enduring pull of revolutionary ideals and the push for reform.
Ideal for readers of modern European history, political culture, and international affairs who want a thoughtful, nuanced view of France during a pivotal moment.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of French society, conducted by an Englishman who has lived there for numerous years and befriended French people from different social classes. The author was initially drawn to France's intellectual engagements and political ideals, especially before World War I, and this book was originally intended to suggest paths to rebuild the country after World War I. The war revealed problems with many established institutions which the author examines candidly. He does give a fair assessment of French strengths as well, such as their courage, good nature, and intelligence. The book is a thorough and sympathetic assessment of the French people and their country, written by an expert who has an insider's knowledge of the topic but an outsider's perspective. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330730515_0
