The fall of France in June 1940, La Débâcle, posed a challenge to France''s understanding of itself. Could the existing “sacred” narrative of French history established by the Third Republic hold in the face of the defeat of France’s military and political systems, both built upon its foundations? The French Historical Narrative and the Fall of France: Simone Weil and her Contemporaries Face the Debacle focuses on assessments of the Debacle and places Simone Weil''s writings of 1938 to 1943 within this continuum. This study recreates the debate in those fraught years to posit a “horizon of expectations” within which to place and better appreciate Simone Weil’s writing of the period, far reaching and bold but hardly “crazy” (as De Gaulle is said to have characterized her ideas).

I was nine. I went into my parents'' bedroom. They were both sitting in bed, sitting up. Happy. The sunlight shines onto the north wall, illuminating it a soft and bright white. The floor is warm on my bare feet and the off white furniture is pretty with its gold trim. "Larry Ann ..." my father says. "Hmm?" I''m still a bit sleepy, not fully awake. "Would you like a little brother or sister?" Now I''m wide awake. I look at my father relaxed in bed. Thick eyebrows raised. What about my toys? They would have to be shared. My parents'' attention? "No, I don''t want a little sister or brother," I said, and jumped on the bed with them. "I want a big sister!"

Mary Anne, better-known by her pen name George Eliot, was one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. Published in 1859 – thirteen years prior to her seminal novel, Middlemarch – ''The Lifted Veil'' is one of her greatest shorter tales. Informed by Eliot''s interest in contemporary science, including physiology, phrenology, and mesmerism, it features a telepathic narrator and a staunchly Gothic atmosphere. Many of the earliest occult stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
