Lea has lovers but never stops carrying the torch for Laure 'The little savage from Montillac' is what her suave lover Francois calls Lea, passionate heroine of this frankly lush, romantic novel of France during the war years 1939-1942. Daughter of a rich wine grower in Bordeaux, Lea sees her adored childhood sweetheart, Laurent, married to his cousin, namby-pamby Camille. Lea has lovers but never stops carrying the torch for Laurent, while tending pregnant Camille during Laurent's service at the front, holding down the family estate of Montillac, where Germans are billeted, and cycling through occupied checkpoints with messages for the Resistance.

Deforges, a bestselling writer in France, gives us moving scenes of civilian panic and carnage and glimpses of Paris high life enjoyed by collaborators and black-marketeers. Radio broadcasts by the still unknown de Gaulle, and defeatist Petainhead of the Vichy puppet regimefire French patriotism and keep the underground going. Plenty of entertainment here, and echoes of Gone with the Wind, though it's hard to tell what lusty Lea sees in Laurent. It wasn't an accident that the estate of GONE WITH THE WIND sued Deforges for plagiarism in this French novel of World War II. She freely admitted that she had been influenced by GWTW but after a few hundred pages, she went her own way. After an initial ruling against the novel, an appeal reversed the decision - no plagiarism.It's a page-turner, sometimes excessively melodramatic, but it does a good job of following a family that is torn apart by the war.

After an initial ruling against the novel, an appeal reversed the decision - no plagiarism.It's a page-turner, sometimes excessively melodramatic, but it does a good job of following a family that is torn apart by the war. Lea, the heroine, and 2nd daughter in a family of three, can't decide who she really loves, steady Laurent, unfortunately already married, or the infuriating Francois, a Rhett Butler type. Her older sister falls in love with a German officer, her mother is killed by a bomb, an uncle enlists her in the resistance movement, her younger sister thinks Petain is the savior of France and that DeGaulle is the devil incarnate, and the novel moves briskly along with such conflicts. I just read the first 400 page installment (fairly easy French); there are seven or eight sequels, as Deforges apparently knew she had a good thing going. One volume was enough for me.

For reluctant readers there's a 2000 tv mini-series. This book has 2 parts. First 250 pages deserve none star. It was such A ROBBERY. I was very disappointed and angry that somebody made money selling story that was told before, invented, created by someone else. Deforges put characters created by Margaret Mitchell in Gone with the Wind to European reality with changed names.

Arter 250 pages, FinaLLY, somethig more than a poor copy, short stories about conspiration in occupied France. Did the author create the second part by her own?

I have no idea but I wouldn´t be surprised if she has borrowed it from another writter. For inspiration I say yes, for plagiarism NO! Such a shame. Next Bestseller? Are you kidding me? I read majority of this series as a teen, thought it's not a YA book considering the violence and erotica in it. I enjoyed it back then, but can't speak on behalf of my adult self.

Though an examination of the lenses through which France has regarded its recent past, the book offers a key to understanding France’s national psyche. Author by: Diana HolmesLanguage: enPublisher by: Cambridge Scholars PublishingFormat Available: PDF, ePub, MobiTotal Read: 11Total Download: 429File Size: 42,6 MbDescription: “Plot”, writes Peter Brooks, “is so basic to our very experience of reading, and indeed to our articulation of experience in general, that criticism has often passed it over in silence” (Reading for the Plot, xi).

Finding the Plot both explores and helps to redress this critical neglect. The book brings together an international group of scholars to address the nature, effects and specific pleasures of consuming stories. If the central focus is on France and popular literary fiction, the book’s scope – like contemporary fiction itself – observes no national frontiers, and extends across a variety of media. The book addresses both the empirical question of which genres and types of text have been and are most “popular”, and the theoretical questions of how plots work, what pleasures they offer to readers, and why it matters that the plot should not be lost.

A glimpse at the general judicial latitude generally afforded to parodies, satires, caricatures, and pastiches demonstrates the social and cultural value of this particular form of artistic expression. With the advent of technologies and the evolution of copyright legislation, creative endeavours in the form of parody gathered a new youth but became unlawful. While copyright law grants exclusive rights to right-holders, this right is not absolute. Legislation includes specific exceptions, which preclude right-holders from exercising their prerogatives in particular cases which foster creativity and cultural diversity within that society. The parody exception pertains to this ultimate objective by permitting users to reproduce copyright-protected materials for the purpose of parody. To understand the meaning and scope of the parody exception, this book examines and compares five jurisdictions which differ in their protection of parodies: France, Australia, Canada, the US and the United Kingdom. This book is concerned with finding an appropriate balance between the protection awarded to right-holders and the public interest.

This is achieved by analysing the parody exception to the economic rights of right-holders, the preservation of moral rights and the interaction of the parody exception with contract law. As parodies constitute an artistic expression protected under the right to freedom of expression, this book also considers the influence of freedom of expression on the interpretation of this specific copyright exception.

Furthermore, this book aims at providing guidance on how to resolve conflicts where fundamental rights are in conflict. This is the first book in English to offer an in-depth investigation into the parody exception in copyright law, and comments on industry practices linked to this form of creative endeavours.

In the first book on this subject, Pascal Kamina unravels the complexities of film protection in the fifteen member states of the European Union, giving special emphasis to the United Kingdom and France. As well as addressing key aspects of film copyright, Kamina also deals with the protection of film works within the European Union in the context of European harmonisation of copyright laws.

He details the main features of the domestic legislations of EU member states, and identifies the difficulties awaiting a further harmonization of copyright and neighbouring rights in this field. This book will interest practitioners, academics and students. The developments on contracts and moral rights will be of particular interest to lawyers outside continental Europe.
