An Extraordinary Journey of Discovery
The Discovery of France is a captivating literary exploration of a remarkable nation, revealing a France few will recognize. Author Graham Robb embarked on a 14,000-mile journey across France on a bicycle, uncovering an alternative history. France is a country famous for its intellectuals, philosophers, writers, fashion, food, and wine, but the notion of the French as one nation is relatively recent and misleading. To discover the true past of France, Robb realized it was necessary to go back in time and at a slower pace than modern life generally allows. The Discovery of France is an award-winning modern classic, a literary exploration of a remarkable nation. From maps and migration to magic, language, and landscape, it reveals a France few will recognize. Winner of the Duff Cooper and the Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje prizes, The Discovery of France is now included in the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the very best of modern literature.
