Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Auvergne and Its People This book is about an almost undiscovered country. I find that many English people scarcely realize the difference between Auvergne and Brittany: only the other day a friend of mine asked me when my "new Breton book would be out!" So it is surely quite time some one took in hand the task of opening up this romantic and beautiful land, le Centre, as the French call it, the Heart of France, whence flow most of the fertilizing rivers on which the prosperity of the country depends. For the French, Auvergne has a strong human interest, for, as we shall see, it has given birth to many famous men and women. And for us English these mountains and valleys have numberless stories to tell of our Plantagenet kings, and of our Black Prince and his adventurous and aggressive knights. It is one of the great Froissart districts: almost every castle is connected with the Hundred Years´ War, and Auvergne simply bristles with castles. It has its churches too, founded in the first centuries of Christianity, by missionaries sent forth, it is said, by the Apostles themselves. These churches form some of the most interesting architectural studies in France. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
