«Nos ancêtres les Gaulois et autres fadaises» is the essay by François Reynaert, published by Fayard in 2010, with 528 pages, in French.
The author reviews twenty centuries of French history with humour and rigour to dismantle the national myths and clichés associated with figures such as Clovis, Saint Louis or Joan of Arc. Reynaert combines accessible synthesis and critical spirit, offering a reading that invites questioning the construction of French identity, both historically and today, without losing the pleasant and accessible tone that characterises the work.
The subtitle of the work is «L'Histoire de France sans les clichés».
Recommended for readers interested in French history and critical historical popularisation, as well as for those who want to understand the origin of French identity narratives.
