Story1
In many ways it is fitting that Maximilien Robespierre (1758-1794) is one of the best known figures of the French Revolution. The early years of the Revolution were fueled by Enlightenment ideals, seeking the social overthrow of the caste system that gave the royalty and aristocracy decisive advantages over the lower classes. Few were as vocal in their support of Enlightenment ideals as Robespierre. But the Reign of Terror became the most memorable aspect of the Revolution, and Robespierre's position made him the Reign of Terror's instrumental figure.

Before the barricades rose and the world changed forever, ordinary people in London and Paris lived ordinary lives. They baked bread at dawn and carried water from public fountains. They raised children in narrow streets and worked trades they had not chosen. They prayed in ancient churches and whispered rumors in crowded markets. They slept without knowing what was coming.

Story0
The eighteenth century was a time of cultural friction: individuals began to assert greater independence and there was a new emphasis on social equality. In this surprising history, Lynn Hunt examines women's expanding societal roles, such as using tea to facilitate conversation between the sexes in Britain. In France, women also pushed boundaries by becoming artists, and printmakers' satiric takes on the elite gave the lower classes a chance to laugh at the upper classes and imagine the potential of political upheaval.

La Résistance, constitue aujourd'hui encore une terre méconnue. Les Français furent-ils tous engagés ou tous "collabos" ? La vérité se situe sans doute à mi-chemin. L'engagement dans la Résistance ne fut pas facile à trouver, aucune institution n'appelait à la lutte en 1940. L'armée des ombres fut aussi traversée par des doutes et des conflits, Olivier Wieviorka revisite en historien d'une génération nouvelle cette période sombre de notre histoire.

Philippe Pétain est un sujet historique qui dépasse le personnage. Jean-Yves Le Naour, historien en spécialiste de la Première Guerre mondiale et du XXe siècle, nous présente ici la biographie du maréchal Pétain mais aussi une histoire du pétainisme. L’historien se penche sur le mythe Pétain forgé durant la Première Guerre mondiale, en tant que vainqueur de Verdun, l’enracinement du mythe durant l’Entre-deux guerres, pour aboutir au chef de l’État vénéré sous Vichy, de 1940 à 1944, quand le maréchal se pose en protecteur des Français tout en collaborant activement avec l’occupant.
