Free Download France (I): Paris and the National Stage (Jews in Old Postcards and Prints) by Lars Fischer
English | December 15, 2023 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0CQG435RM | 450 pages | EPUB | 41 Mb
Following on from our first printed book, Jews in Old Postcards and Prints, which took readers on a whistlestop tour across Europe, the Yishuv and North Africa, this is the first of our more detailed country-specific volumes. The first of two volumes looking at France, it focusses specifically on the national stage (both political and cultural), covering a broad range of topics from synagogues, cantors and the Rothschilds to the theatre, the cabaret and horse racing. Apart from explaining what the images show, the comments also present more detailed backstories and reconstruct some of the relations-familial, social, professional-that shaped the lives of those portrayed and connected them to others who never made it onto a postcard or print. Written in an accessible style, the book is based on thorough in-depth research and it presents a wealth of material from the time in question.

English | ASIN: B0CV2P6JY9 | 2024 | 6 hours and 38 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 372 MB
Author: Simon Kuper
Narrator: Tim Frances
An entertaining and openhearted tale of a naïf eventually getting to understand a complex, glittering, beautiful and often cruel society-at least a little. When Simon Kuper left London for Paris in his early thirties, he wasn’t planning to make a permanent move. Paris, however, had other plans. Kuper has grown middle-aged there, eaten the croissants, seen his American wife through life-threatening cancer, taken his children to countless football matches on freezing Saturday mornings in the city’s notorious banlieues, and in 2015 lived through two terrorist attacks on their neighborhood. Over two decades of becoming something of a cantankerous Parisian himself, Kuper has watched the city change.

Free Download Jean-Pierre Melville: An American in Paris by Ginette Vincendreau
English | January 1, 2003 | ISBN: 0851709508, 0851709494 | True EPUB | 285 pages | 11.7 MB
One of the most brilliant filmmakers in post-war France and world cinema, Jean-Pierre Melville now enjoys renewed popularity. His "Bob le flambeur" (with its street-wise Montmartre and Pigalle settings, its cool jazz score and its good-humoured tale of gangster clans) not only inspired the New Wave but has attained unassailable cult status. Other iconic gangster films such as "Le Doulos," "Le Samourai" and "Le Cercle rouge" are now hailed as masterpieces by latter-day legends John Woo and Quentin Tarantino. Meanwhile, with "Le Silence de la mer" and "L’Armee des ombres," Melville also contributed two of the greatest films about the Resistance during World War II.
