商品簡介
Mermier (recently retired from the department of romance languages and literatures at the U. of Michigan) tells how France emerged as a major nation in the world thanks to the energy and mettle of its people, and in spite of the many accidents of its history. He covers a broad range of topics including the political institutions, the economy, and the society of France; past and present problems and achievements in connection with violence, education, work, unemployment, social advantages and ills, women, and behavior; and what France should do to manage the transition between the 20th and 21st centuries.
