It is a story which cat-lovers and their children will enjoy reading together, as the mannerisms and arrogance of cats is portrayed with reality and humour.

Serious changes happen when Agate is killed by a car, and her dying wish was that Fifi would promise to look after her son, Shere Khan. Part Two unfolds the adventures of Fifi and her companions, in a search for Shere Khan. He had decided to run away to sea as a ship's cat. They encounter a rare breed of tiger in a zoo, who was stolen from a Maharajah living in Provence. He is assisted to escape and returned to his master, only after terrifying ordeals by Fifi and her companions. Fifi's search takes her through forests and water, encountering many dangers from both hunters and wild boar, until finally being reunited with Shere Khan as he is about to leave on a ship from Marseilles. Throughout the book, the beauty of Provence, its flora and fauna is captured through the eyes of Fifi. You will relate to every nuance of Fifi's emotions and fears, as she unfolds her story and draws the reader into her world.

Julia's Cats by Patricia Barey,Therese Burson Pdf

“A cat-centric biography of Julia Child? Why not? . . . The many feline fanciers out there will surely enjoy the photographs of the cats.” —Chicago Tribune The world knows Julia Child as the charismatic woman who brought French cuisine to America and became a TV sensation, but there’s one aspect of her life that’s not so familiar. Soon after the Childs arrived in Paris in 1948, a French cat appeared on their doorstep, and Julia recalled, “Our domestic circle was completed.” Minette captured Julia’s heart, igniting a lifelong passion for cats equaled only by her love of food and her husband, Paul. All the cherished feline companions who shared Julia’s life—in Paris, Provence, and finally California—reminded her of that magical time in Paris when her life changed forever. From Julia’s and Paul’s letters and original interviews with those who knew her best, Patricia Barey and Therese Burson have gathered fresh stories and images that offer a delightfully intimate view of a beloved icon. “It’s clear that all the cats that passed through her life gave her joy and comfort, probably in ways that food and even Paul could not. Having that perspective of this grande dame makes her seem all the more human and wonderfully admirable to me.” —Epicurious “This compact, entertaining read is filled with personal photos and letters that document the role cats played in Julia’s life as she moved from Paris to Provence, Cambridge to California.” —Shelf Awareness “Brings this little known aspect of Julia Child’s life to light in an engaging and entertaining way.” —The Conscious Cat

Charlemagne by Elisabeth Barbou Baylor Pdf

This book for children (preschool through preteen) is about the adventures of a cat named Charlemagne, who lives with his owner, Mrs. Renoir, in a small village in France. Charlemagne is fascinated with the pigeons that fly around the steeple of the local church. One day Charlemagne decides to sneak into the church to get a closer look at the pigeons. Before the day is done, he finds himself in trouble and learns that hasty decisions can have unwelcome consequences. Eventually, after some lonely and trying times, Charlemagne is rescued and returned to his home. The story is illustrated with more than 20 original images drawn by the author. The first part of the book tells Charlemagne's story in narrative form; the second part (for older children and, perhaps, adults) tells the story in verse.

The Great Cat Massacre by Robert Darnton Pdf

The landmark history of France and French culture in the eighteenth-century, a winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize When the apprentices of a Paris printing shop in the 1730s held a series of mock trials and then hanged all the cats they could lay their hands on, why did they find it so hilariously funny that they choked with laughter when they reenacted it in pantomime some twenty times? Why in the eighteenth-century version of Little Red Riding Hood did the wolf eat the child at the end? What did the anonymous townsman of Montpelier have in mind when he kept an exhaustive dossier on all the activities of his native city? These are some of the provocative questions the distinguished Harvard historian Robert Darnton answers The Great Cat Massacre, a kaleidoscopic view of European culture during in what we like to call "The Age of Enlightenment." A classic of European history, it is an essential starting point for understanding Enlightenment France.

Sofonisba's Lesson by Michael W. Cole Pdf

"Within a span of seven or eight years in the 1550s, the Italian painter Sofonisba Anguissola produced more self-portraits than any known painter before her had in a lifetime. She was the first known artist in history to take her parents and siblings as primary subject matter, and may have painted the first group portrait featuring only women. Cole examines Sofonisba's paintings as expressions of her relationships and networks, looking at why Sofonisba was able to become a great woman artist: at her father, who decided to allow her to be educated as a painter; at her teacher, Bernardino Campi; and at her relationships with her students, sisters, and patrons, who included the Queen of Spain. Cole demonstrates that Sofonisba made teaching and education a central theme of her painting. The book also provides the first complete catalogue of all of Sofonisba's known works"--

Jacques Louis David: Radical Draftsman by Perrin Stein,Daniella Berman,Philippe Bordes,Mehdi Korchane,Louis-Antoine Prat,Juliette Trey Pdf

The first major exhibition catalogue to focus on Jacques Louis David's drawings and their pivotal role in the creation of his iconic history paintings The paintings of Jacques Louis David (1748–1825) are among the most iconic in the history of Western art, but comparatively little is known about his nearly two thousand drawings that formed the basis of beloved masterpieces such as The Oath of the Horatii and The Death of Socrates. Jacques Louis David: Radical Draftsman accompanies the first major exhibition to focus on the artist's often yearslong process of trial and experimentation, from initial idea to finished canvas. Including several recently discovered drawings published here for the first time, this volume provides a new perspective on the celebrated master. Essays by international experts explore what David's preparatory works on paper reveal about his creative process and how they bear witness to the tumultuous years before, during, and after the French Revolution. As both a participant and an observer, David helped establish the new French society while documenting the drama, violence, and triumphs of modern history in the making.

Enamels of Limoges by John Philip O'Neill,Musée du Louvre,Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.) Pdf

Treasuries of France, and other sources. The works of Limoges were created for important ecclesiastical and royal patrons. The wealth of enameling preserved from the Treasury of the abbey of Grandmont, just outside Limoges, is due chiefly to the Plantagenet patronage of Henry II and his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. Enamels created during their reign resonate with the elegant style of the court, and the dramatic history of Henry's monarchy is evoked by such works as the.
