Collection "Guide Belles Lettres des Civilisations". The Guides Belles Lettres des Civilisations offer a journey through time and space (Egypt, Greece, Rome, India, China, Japan, etc.) and are aimed at students, those curious about history and civilisations, and travellers... Practical and reasoned works of general culture on the main ancient civilisations that have left us a written record, they offer the reader the keys necessary to understand an ancient text or a history book, they help him to decipher the allusions, to elucidate the difficulties. Classical India. In addition to the India of scholars and sages, there was a shameless and amorous India and also a realistic, even cynical India. Let us leave aside the fabulous or miserable Orient, and listen to India speak for itself: it is much more disconcerting and stimulating! Their practical design allows everyone to use them in three ways: either read them in sequence, like a traditional book, to discover the various aspects of the civilization presented, or resort directly to one of the headings that make up each chapter thanks to a very detailed table of contents, or even use directly the very comprehensive index to quickly find specific information. The maps, tables, and diagrams also allow you to get to the heart of the matter. And a selected and recent bibliography offers those who wish to begin a more in-depth research. The Belles Lettres des Civilisations Guides are not dictionaries. Any information sought is placed in the context of the mentalities of each of the civilizations studied. Because it is not possible to understand an event, a moral law, or the character of a person if nothing is restored of the values that justify them. J.-NR
