Title : Our ancestors the Gauls - François Reynaert - Book

Summary :

We all learned that Clovis was the first king of France. In Germany, however, he is considered a German king. Of Saint Louis, we retain the image of the sovereign administering justice under his oak tree. We don't know that he required Jews to wear the equivalent of the yellow star. Joan of Arc is the great heroine of the Middle Ages. Why have we forgotten all the others? Many French people are interested in our past, and many are also sorry they know it so little. To address both, it took a free spirit, that of François Reynaert.

With a light and sure pen, armed with a knowledge that never weighs, Reynaert rewrites the national novel with the talent of a sympathetic myth-breaker. Laurent Joffrin, Liberation.

With an informed and alert pen, Reynaert covers two thousand years of history, weighs, turns arguments around, and encourages discussion. Rich and stimulating. François-Guillaume Lorrain, Le Point.
