BERNSTEIN, RICHARD.

Presents a panorama of France, from the most exalted to the most troubling to the most absurd: tyhe intellctual and artistic legacies of Sartre and Hugo, the comforting spirit of de Gaulle, the protracted debate over the alterations to the Louvre, the struggle with the country's collaborationist past and the rise of Jen-Marie Le Pen, the three different villages claiming to be the geographic center of France, the maniacal speed and agressiveness with which the French drive their automobiles.
