Pierre de L'Estoile and his World in the Wars of Religion
Author: Tom Hamilton
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192520474
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The Wars of Religion embroiled France in decades of faction, violence, and peacemaking in the late sixteenth century. When historians interpret these events they inevitably depend on sources of information gathered by contemporaries, none more valuable than the diaries and collection of Pierre de L'Estoile (1546-1611), who lived through the civil wars in Paris and shaped how they have been remembered ever since. Taking him out of the footnotes, and demonstrating his significance in the culture of the late Renaissance, this is the first life of L'Estoile in any language. It examines how he negotiated and commemorated the conflicts that divided France as he assembled an extraordinary collection of the relics of the troubles, a collection that he called 'the storehouse of my curiosities'. The story of his life and times is the history of the civil wars in the making. Focusing on a crucial individual for understanding Reformation Europe, this study challenges historians' assumptions about the widespread impact of confessional conflict in the sixteenth century. L'Estoile's prudent, non-confessional responses to the events he lived through and recorded were common among his milieu of Gallican Catholics. His life-writing and engagement with contemporary news, books, and pictures reveals how individuals used different genres and media to destabilise rather than fix confessional identities. Bringing together the great variety of topics in society and culture that attracted L'Estoile's curiosity, this volume rethinks his world in the Wars of Religion.

Author: Quentin Monte
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1450046347
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Goods Of Desire is fictional, however it all began with a real dream that the author had. The other actual event is the dangerous ride at 110 m.p.h. that took place in a 1942 1/4 ton panel Ford truck, that was used to deliver milk. The SUV in the novel was used to update the story line. The thoughts of Charley Watts are the basic feelings of the author to level the playing field of the world, where everyone has an equal chance to make it in real life. A very scientific gadget called “Gizmo”, propels the story throughout. Ways are devised to protect the Gizmo, because of its tremendous powers. Evan Casey, Charley’s partner and best friend, experiments with Gizmo at various sporting events, and finds time to use its power on girls without Charley’s knowledge. Casey, due to his nature gets involved with the Mafia, when he meets Meg Ciarlone. With worldwide operations G.O.D. inadvertently hires some under qualified consultants who take advantage of Gizmo by getting involved with drugs and call girl services in England. Charley Watts meets Anne Bliss, a Sister of Charity, after being rescued from a boating accident while on vacation. Anne becomes a major player in the organization. Anne is foiled by an imposter of Father Quinn, a very close friend, while traveling the world checking on G.O.D. operations. Charley’s life is always in danger, resulting in hospital stays and a disappearance. Casey and his friend Meg Ciarlone have many close calls protecting the Gizmo and unravelling, Meg’s Father’s past with the mafia and solving her mother’s mystery. Tony Ciarlone, known as T.C. to his close friends, is a mob boss with a very soft heart. Charley’s dreams having been realized takes on other projects. The whereabouts of Anne Bliss concerns everyone.
