Traces French literature from 842 A.D. to the present, presenting a pastiche of wide-angled views of historical and cultural phenomena--writers and artists, criminals and saints--arranged in chronological order and written by 164 American and European specialists

Discusses the influential French philosopher, and examines the connections he drew between philosophy and architecture

On the eve of World War II, a group of men met regularly in the back room of the Paris bookstore to discuss contemporary society. However diverse their views and interests, they shared a primary intent: to counter anarchistic individualism of the Surrealists by seeking to understand how close knit communities formed. To this end, they propose the notion of a "sacred sociology" which would explore these phenomenons that draw individuals together in voluntary communion: brotherhood, secret societies, churches and armies. Now translated into English for the first time, 'The College of Sociology' brings together all the relevant text produced by members- lectures, articles, letters and notes- that set each text within its cultural and political context.
