Inhaltsangabe

WINNER OF THE GRAND PRIX DU LIVRE D'IDÉES

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.
