How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are

Love, Style, and Bad Habits

By: Anne Berest,Audrey Diwan,Caroline De Maigret,Sophie Mas

From four stunning and accomplished French women—a charming bestseller about how to slip into your inner cool and be a Parisienne. In short, frisky sections, these Parisian women give you their very original views on style, beauty, culture, attitude and men. The authors—Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline de Maigret, and Sophie Mas—unmarried but attached, with children—have been friends for years. Talented bohemian iconoclasts with careers in the worlds of music, film, fashion and publishing, they are untypically frank and outspoken as they debunk the myths about what it means to be a French woman today. Letting you in on their secrets and flaws, they also make fun of their complicated, often contradictory feelings and behavior. They admit to being snobs, a bit self-centered, unpredictable but not unreliable. Bossy and opinionated, they are also tender and romantic. You will be taken on a first date, to a party, to some favorite haunts in Paris, to the countryside, and to one of their dinners at home with recipes even you could do -- but to be out with them is to be in for some mischief and surprises. They will tell you how to be mysterious and sensual, look natural, make your boyfriend jealous, and how they feel about children, weddings and going to the gym. And they will share their address book in Paris for where to go: At the End of the Night, for A Birthday, for a Smart Date, A Hangover, for Vintage Finds and much more.

The Bukharans

A Dynastic, Diplomatic and Commercial History 1550-1702

By: Audrey Burton

This is an in-depth study of the people of Bukhara and their relations with settled peoples and nomads, from Muscovy to China, and Iran to India. By using lesserknown, or hitherto untapped sources, it corrects long-held misapprehensions fostered by historians of hostile states and champions of the Timurid dynasty. Far from being afraid of their powerful Safawid and Mughal counterparts, the Uzbeg rulers of Bukhara caused them much apprehension and even influenced their foreign policies. 'Abbas I concluded a humiliating peace with Turkey because he wanted to recover Khurasan from 'Abdallah II, Akbar could not risk leaving Punjab during 'Abdallah's reign, Safawid and Mughal attempts at conquering the khanate failed dismally. The book deals fully with dynastic, internal and external problems, trade routes, coinage policies and the khans' attempts to encourage trade.

George Sand

By: Audrey Pennel

Amantine Aurore Lucile Dupin de Francueil naît à Paris en 1804. Fille d’un officier de l’armée impériale, elle est aussi l’enfant d’un siècle nouveau, qui s’ouvre sur toute une génération d’écrivains et d’artistes romantiques, dont elle fera partie. En 1822, elle épouse le baron François Casimir Dudevant et obtient son titre. La naissance de George Sand survient huit ans plus tard, à la faveur des Trois Glorieuses, qui marquent sa première prise de conscience politique. Elle quitte Nohant pour rejoindre Paris, commence à écrire, prend part à un groupe de littéraires romantiques et endosse une redingote masculine. Indiana, publié en 1832, marque le début d’une longue série de soixante-dix romans, auxquels s’ajoute une cinquantaine de nouvelles, pièces de théâtre et textes politiques. Sa vie intime est faite de liaisons passionnées, d’amours orageuses en compagnie de Musset, et de générosité envers ses amis artistes. Séparée de son mari, elle s’engage en 1848 aux côtés de Louis Blanc, soutient la cause féminine et participe à la lutte contre les inégalités sociales en publiant dans plusieurs journaux tels que la Cause du Peuple ou la Vraie République. De nombreuses lithographies issues de la presse d’opposition fleurissent alors à son encontre. Dans sa maison de Nohant, haut-lieu de la vie Romantique au XIXe siècle, George Sand reçoit les plus brillants esprits de l’époque : des écrivains comme Alexandre Dumas ou Gustave Flaubert, des cantatrices comme Pauline Viardot, son ami le peintre Eugène Delacroix, Jérôme Bonaparte, cousin germain de l’Empereur Napoléon 1er, ou encore le compositeur Frédéric Chopin, avec qui elle partage sa vie pendant près de dix ans. Cet ouvrage dresse le portrait intime, intellectuel et politique de cette femme, partagée entre deux classes sociales, mais actrice des changements d’un siècle. Le mythe qu’elle s’est construit elle-même grâce à son travail, ses engagements et sa manière avant-gardiste de réfléchir sur son époque, fait aujourd’hui d’elle, la plus grande femme de lettres du XIXe siècle. Audrey Pennel est Docteure en Histoire de l’art, diplômée de l’Université de Bourgogne. Elle anime régulièrement des conférences traitant de sujets relatifs au Moyen Âge tardif ou au XIXe siècle, notamment à propos du mouvement Romantique dans les arts, en politique et littérature, dont George Sand demeure une illustre représentante.
