Through French Windows : An Introduction to France in the Nineties Paperback / softback
by James Corbett
Paperback / softback
Description
Through French Windows is a journey into contemporary French culture and society.
By describing the country's education, religion, politics, finances, technology and telecommunications, and social and ethical issues, Corbett draws a portrait of present-day France.The author provides background information necessary for understanding the changes that continue to evolve.
Corbett conscientiously avoids the traditional and simplistic means of portraying France that emphasizes the cultural heritage of the country.
Instead he provides an insider's view of France, separating that mythic image from the current reality.
Further, he presents an accurate portrayal of the diversity of France by moving beyond the typical dichotomy between Paris and the rest of the country or the oversimplification of dividing the country into north and south.
