Dictionary of
Modern France is an encyclopaedic dictionary, a glossary
bringing
together and explaining the most important words and names that the
reader, viewer or listener is liable to come across. It includes
prominent people in modern France (though not necessarily the most
talked about or photographed), its
institutions, organisations, the defining moments of modern
French history, the key
places in modern France, the cultural icons and emblems, and other
words and phrases that belong to life in modern France, but can leave
the foreigner totally perplexed.You will find in this dictionary a range of terminology, including perplexing words of phrases from French life, notably French officialdom.
