A warm yet incisive exploration of the French intellectual tradition, and its exceptional place in a nation's identity and lifestyle

WINNER OF THE GRAND PRIX DU LIVRE D'ID ES

The French- serious and frivolous, charming and infuriating, rational and mystical, pessimistic, pleasure-loving - and perhaps more than any other people, intellectual. This original and entertaining book shows exactly what makes the French so ... French.
