Dana Kristofor Lindaman provides the historical context that led to the explosion of geographic interest at the end of the nineteenth century, exploring the ways that the work of the geographers Paul Vidal de la Blache and Élisée Reclus served as a conceptual basis for abstract notions of the nation such as \u003ci\u003ela Patrie\u003c\/i\u003e. Lindaman then uses Reclus's formulation of the earth as \"une organisme terrestre\" (terrestrial organism) to read Jules Verne's \u003ci\u003eVoyage au centre de la terre\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eJourney to the Center of the Earth\u003c\/i\u003e) as a journey to the center of the individual self. Finally, he traces the geographic narrative of G. Bruno's \u003ci\u003eTour de la France\u003c\/i\u003e par deux enfants, in particular the way that Bruno's work incorporates the geographic thought of Vidal de la Blache, to discover the organic ties that bind readers through the shared experience of reading the text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dana Kristofor Lindaman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081013280X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810132801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 6.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Dana Kristofor Lindaman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065162969343,"sku":"9780810132801","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_346ff6c4-97e5-4bdd-b750-e4d0d35d4a92.jpg?v=1768673407","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/becoming-french-dana-kristofor-lindaman-9780810132801","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
