Description

"If readers will allow it, the author of this book will begin with a confession. When he was in college, he did not like history very much. She bored him. And when the taste came to him later, he realized one thing: he was repugnant to the narration of the facts lined up, one at the other end. He had never been told, or had been told only in an agreed and insufficient manner, why the people were waging war and revolutions, why men fought, killed, and reconciled. History was a tissue of dramas without continuation, a melee, a chaos in which intelligence could discern nothing.Is it true that history should be taught to children without their understanding and in order to furnish their memory with a few dates and events? This is extremely doubtful. We would not do otherwise if we wanted to kill interest. In any case, an age comes, and very quickly, when we need a common thread, where we suspect that men of yore were similar to those of today and that their actions had motives Similar to our own. We then seek the reason for all that they have done, and whose purely chronological account is insipid or incoherent.In writing a History of France, we have tried to answer this need of the mind. We first wanted to answer it for ourselves, and for this purpose to clarify, with the greatest possible clarity, the causes and effects. "Jacques Bainville
