Product Description
How the French Think
Author: Sudhir Hazareesingh
Format: Paperback
An Affectionate Portrait of an Intellectual People
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.
