Critically acclaimed when first published in France in 1946, and now in a new translation, this is a lightly fictionalized account of a true story of a Jewish family's desperate attempts to lie low in a Nazi-dominated World War II France Having emigrated from Budapest and Warsaw respectively, Nathalie and Ladislas Gara originally came to Paris to seek the university educations that their Jewish religion barred them from in their home countries. However, in 1940, they found themselves once again fleeing from persecution, this time at the hands of the fledgling Vichy regime in France. The couple, with their daughter Claire, were among a group that eventually found precarious shelter in a village in the Ardèche, Saint-Boniface, taking advantage of the region's reputation as a land of refuge, which has seen it for generations taking in religious exiles amongst its folded hills and isolated farmsteads. Come the end of the war, the Garas published a thinly concealed account of their time as refugees. The village of Saint-Boniface itself takes center stage at a meeting of worlds which creates scenes by turn tragic and comic. The intellectual, artistic, and working classes, fleeing from the cities, clash with the rural population, and the resulting human stories, recounted with humor, satire, and pathos, lay bare the powers and the limitations of both groups.

Arbitration and International Trade in the Arab Countries

By: Nathalie Najjar

Arbitration and International Trade in the Arab Countries by Nathalie Najjar is masterful compendium of arbitration law in the Arab countries. A true study of comparative law in the purest sense of the term, the work puts into perspective the solutions retained in the various laws concerned and highlights both their convergences and divergences. Focusing on the laws of sixteen States, the author examines international trade arbitration in the MENA region and assesses the value of these solutions in a way that seeks to guide a practice which remains extraordinarily heterogeneous. The book provides an analysis of a large number of legal sources, court decisions as well as a presentation of the attitude of the courts towards arbitration in the States studied. Traditional and modern sources of international arbitration are examined through the prism of the two requirements of international trade, freedom and safety, the same prism through which the whole law of arbitration is studied. The book thus constitutes an indispensable guide to any arbitration specialist called to work with the Arab countries, both as a practitioner and as a theoretician.

Literature and Identity in Italian Baroque Travel Writing

By: Nathalie Hester

This first full-length study in English on seventeenth-century Italian travel writing enriches our understanding of an unusually fertile period for Italian contributions to the genre. The intrinsic qualities of this literature can now be grasped in terms of the larger question of cultural identity in Italy. For Hester, the specifically literary characteristics of Italian travel writing”including its humanism or Petrarchism”highlight the classic eminence throughout Europe of a prestigious tradition inherent to Italy, one compensating then for the peninsula's lack of a national political identity. Appeals to the cultural authority of that tradition represent a means of addressing and overcoming anxieties about the Italian subject's diasporic status during the "Golden Age" of European global colonial expansion. Self-funded travelers Francesco Carletti, Pietro Della Valle, Francesco Belli, Francesco Negri, and Giovanni Francesco Gemelli Careri are the major authors studied who journeyed through Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and America.
