Translated from the Danish. Offers a comprehensive reading of Freud's contributions to psychoanalysis. Rather than a authors argue for a synthesis. As well as placing Freud in historical perspective the study deals with his analytic, therapeutic and theoretical works in detail. Sequel to the author's Spanish Sea: The Gulf of Mexico in North American Discovery, 1500-1685 (1985)--and a third volume is planned so that the completed trilogy will span 300 years and embrace the entire Gulf--this study of exploration rivalry takes into account what is often not considered and has lead to erroneous conclusions--the explorers' limited geographical knowledge and the consequent mistakes. Maps supplement the text, but the basic thrust is narration rather than cartography.

In this definitive history, William R. Keylor traces the tumultuous relationship between Charles de Gaulle and a host of other key twentieth-century figures: his former mentor Marshal Philippe Pétain, who headed the collaborationist government in the southern French city of Vichy as the German army occupied the northern two-thirds of the country; Sir Winston Churchill, the British prime minister whose government supported and financed de Gaulle and the Free French, but who clashed with the French leader on a number of hot-button issues; and, most critically, the six American presidents from FDR to Nixon. Keylor uses the metaphor “thorn in the side” to emphasize the fact that challenges from the intrepid French leader were often an annoyance to the Americans, who all had many more important issues to deal with—World War II for Roosevelt and Truman, the Cold War for Eisenhower, and the Vietnam War for Kennedy and Johnson. Richard Nixon alone had an excellent relationship, but the two men overlapped for only four months before de Gaulle’s retirement. Thoroughly researched and deeply knowledgeable, this gripping book will appeal to all readers interested in contemporary French and US history.

Many incredible stories of courage and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds have been told arising from the backdrop of World War 2. One of the most amazing and heroic is the story of Ian (Johnny) Hopper. As a young boy, he and his British-born parents relocated to the northern French town of Caen. By the time of the Nazi Blitzkrieg, as the German army marched through town, Hopper was determined to live life on his own terms. Along with his wife, Paulette, his goal was to everyday do something to fight back against his oppressors. First in Caen and continuing in Paris, Hopper stole, killed, committed acts of sabotage, and worked in whatever way possible to disrupt the German war machine. Eventually, inevitably Hopper was captured and spent the remaining years of the war, along with a tight-knit group of fellow Brits, being shuttled from one prison camp to the next, finally reaching the end of the line at Dachau. Along the way, he continued to resist the Germans, worked to help those he could, and struggled to survive while still holding on to his humanity.

Download The Holy Thorn Reliquary Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Made in gold and enamel and decorated with precious stones, the Holy Thorn Reliquary depicts the salvation of mankind through the sacrifice of Christ. It was commissioned around 1400-10 by Jean, duc de Berry, a member of the French royal family, to house a single thorn from the relic of Christ's Crown of Thorns. Having left the duke's possession, it was recorded in Vienna from around 1544 until the 1860s, eventually being acquired by a member of the wealthy Rothschild family, with its true identity remaining undiscovered until the twentieth century. This book explores the meaning and history of this fascinating object, and tells the tale of its remarkable survival and eventual passage to the British Museum.
