The book analyses the individual visions of the heroic Pyrenees which in turn fascinated 19th-century mountaineers and the racing cyclists of the early Tour de France. Martyn Lyons also investigates the role of the Pyrenees during the Second World War as an escape route from Nazi-occupied France, when for thousands of refugees these dangerous borderlands became 'the mountains of liberty', and considers the place of the Pyrenees in recent times right up to the present day. Drawing on travel writing, press reports and scientific texts in several languages, The Pyrenees in the Modern Era explores both the French and Spanish sides of the Pyrenees to provide a nuanced historical understanding of the cultural construction of one of Europe's most prominent border regions. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of Europe's cultural history in a transnational context."--Bloomsbury Publishing.PyreneesHistoryPyreneesSocial life and customsElectronic books.946.5Lyons Martyn445753UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910511780903321The Pyrenees in the modern era2553087UNINA01072cam0 22003013 450 SON000178120231121142448.0881321938520000725d1999 |||||ita|0103 baitaITManuale pratico del diritto processuale civileGiorgio Corno3. edPadovaCEDAM1999XVIII, 569 p.24 cmJus ad artem redigere4In appendice: Temi assegnati nei concorsi per uditore giudiziario, 1945-1998 e negli esami per avvocato, 1989-1997001LAEC000154432001 *Jus ad artem redigere4Corno, GiorgioAF00004158070140146ITUNISOB20231121RICAUNISOBUNISOB340102649SON0001781M 102 Monografia moderna SBNM340002774SI102649acquistocarranoUNISOBUNISOB20110926102130.020231121142448.0SpinosaManuale pratico del diritto processuale civile656647UNISOB
