Axel de Tarle is not Montesquieu certainly, the style is more sober, without metaphors, prolepses, and other oxymorons. But the intent is there: a vision artificially "externalized" our beautiful land. This little salutary book, which reads by the fire in two hours, will be more optimistic for "Choc 2006" Mr. BUCKET, and more imperial visions of France (always hard, often just sometimes light) .L'auteur not caricature, avoids bias, but reveals national inconsistencies: high aspirations, low motivation, many contradictions: do we want to become the most "bourgeois" kholkoze Europe?
