The Franco-Prussian War, 1870–1871
In 1870 France embarked on a war with Prussia and her allied German states that was to be a complete disaster.

Pontmain, Prophecy, and Protest considers the appearance of Mary in Pontmain, France, in its concrete historical and cultural dimensions, and demonstrates that an apparition's context dramatically affects how it is both perceived and promoted.

Toutes les pêches en rivières, étangs et lacs
Ce livre est le témoignage, patiemment construit, élaboré et enrichi pendant près d'un demi-siècle, de toute une vie de pêche en eau douce, un peu partout dans le monde...

Alain Le Carrer a vécu tout cela et, en plus, d'une manière originale, presque paradoxale. Né dans une famille de pêcheurs, en Bretagne, il parcourt - enfant - les rivières du Morbihan avec son père... Sa vocation professionnelle est pourtant ailleurs, qui l'a...
