The opinions of Jérôme Coignard

Anatole France

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "The Opinions of Jérôme Coignard," Anatole France masterfully intertwines philosophical musings with a satirical examination of society through the eyes of its protagonist, Jérôme Coignard. The narrative, featuring Coignard as a learned but jaded character, explores themes of skepticism, the nature of wisdom, and the absurdity of human beliefs. France's literary style is marked by eloquent prose and sharp wit, reflecting the influence of both naturalism and symbolism prevalent in the late 19th to early 20th century. The book serves as a poignant critique of contemporary social and philosophical ideologies, seamlessly blending humor with a profound inquiry into human nature and morality. Anatole France, a Nobel laureate in Literature in 1921, was deeply rooted in the intellectual currents of his time, shaped by his experiences in a rapidly changing France. His background as a journalist and a critic informs this work, allowing him to dissect societal norms with both tenderness and levity. France's exposure to diverse philosophical traditions, including the skepticism of the Enlightenment, positions him as an astute observer and commentator on the zeitgeist of his era. Readers seeking a thought-provoking exploration of philosophical ideas wrapped in humor will find "The Opinions of Jérôme Coignard" an enlightening and engaging read. This book invites contemplation and discussion, making it a valuable addition to any literary scholar's collection, as well as a delightful journey for general readers attuned to the intricacies of human thought.

The Colonial Wars 1689-1762

Howard H. Peckham

Although the colonial wars consisted of almost continuous raids and skirmishes between the English and French colonists and their Indian allies and enemies, they can be separated into four major conflicts, corresponding to four European wars of which they were, in varying degrees, a part: King William’s War (1689-97) (War of the League of Augsburg); Queen Anne’s War (1702-13) (War of the Spanish Succession); King George’s War (1744-48) (War of the Austrian Succession); and The French and Indian War (1755-62) (Seven Years’ War).
 
Howard Peckham chronicles the events of these wars, summarizing the struggle for empire in America among France, England, and Spain. He indicates how the colonists applied the experience they gained from fighting Indians to their engagements with European powers. And what they learned from the colonial wars they translated into a political philosophy that led to independence and self-government.
 
The ready involvement of the colonies in European ambitions, the success and failure of co-operation between colony and mother country, the efforts of the English colonies together, and the growing differences between them and Britain give the narrative continuity and rising excitement.
