Pierre Riché est professeur émérite d'histoire médiévale à l'université  de Paris X-Nanterre.Au VIIe siècle, alors que s'affrontent  encore les héritages celte, gréco-romain et germanique, la première  unité européenne voit le jour. Elle  est l'œuvre des Carolingiens, une  famille aristocratique qui mène une  habile et patiente stratégie d'alliances  avec les territoires voisins. Maîtres  de l'Austrasie, puis de la Gaule, ils créent un empire qui  regroupe pendant un siècle une grande partie de l'Occident.  Cet empire engendre à son tour les royaumes et les  principautés ancêtres des nations modernes.  Les Carolingiens mettent en place les institutions politiques,sociales et religieuses qui caractérisent le Moyen Âge :  conception religieuse de la royauté, État pontifical, vassalité,  etc. Cette remise en ordre unificatrice s'accompagne d'un  renouveau culturel et artistique. Il est au fondement de la  civilisation occidentale.

"Phenomenal . . . The complex and layered narrative is as moving as it is unsettling, and it will keep readers wondering about the truth long after the final page. It's a remarkable achievement."--Publishers Weekly (Starred review)An extraordinary love story and a captivating novel about the power of memory and imagination: Flanders 1922. After serving as a soldier in the Great War, Noon Merckem has lost his memory and lives in a psychiatric asylum. Countless women, responding to a newspaper ad, visit him there in the hope of finding their spouse who vanished in battle. One day a woman, Julienne, appears and recognizes Noon as her husband, the photographer Amand Coppens, and takes him home against medical advice. But their miraculous reunion doesn't turn out the way that Julienne wants her envious friends to believe. Only gradually do the two grow close, and Amand's biography is pieced together on the basis of Julienne's stories about him. But how can he be certain that she's telling the truth? In The Remembered Soldier, Anjet Daanje immerses us in the psyche of a war-traumatized man who has lost his identity. When Amand comes to doubt Julienne's word, the reader is caught up in a riveting spiral of confusion that only the greatest of literature can achieve.
