In this Very Short Introduction, Vanessa Schwartz argues that modern France, as        both a world stage and a global crossroads, is an essential actor in the development        of contemporary culture. Indeed, French is the only language other than English        spoken on five continents, and more people still visit France than anywhere else in        the world. French fashion continues to dominate haute couture and, at the same time,        French people are at the forefront of international "e;style,"e; which was as true in        the first half of the twentieth century as it is today. This tension between        "e;Frenchness"e; as both particular and transnational remains one of the most compelling        qualities of the culture. If French culture and culture producers are working around        the globe, if Paris is an international capital, the marvel is that France still        manages to attract visitors from all over the world seeking out the drama of its        historic castles and significant battlefields, its more than 300 cheeses and the        renowned wines grown in its rich soil.About the Series: Combining authority with        wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to        some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they        demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues        in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam
