Something Completely New ... Time Travel? If you ever wondered why Josephine was so angry with Napoleon, or why Sarah Bernhardt slept in a coffin during la Belle Epoque, or how Proust gained so much pleasure from eating a Madelaine ... or why the French continued duelling long after everyone else had given it up, then this is the travel companion for you. The team at Time Travel Guides has found the perfect Bite-size essays, letters, diary entries, and short stories on France. Having a coffee on the boulevard St Germain? then let Marcel Proust explain how to maximize pleasure from your coffee. Champs Elysees? What better than to read Napoloeon's letters to Josephine or Sarah Bernhardt's scandalous memoirs of La Belle Epoque. The Perigord? read how to hunt truffles from an expert, or let Robert Louis Stevenson take you on a donkey trek into the Dordogne. Voltaire's dictionary will even give you an insight into the philosophy of kissing. 64,000 words from the finest writers in the history of France.
