A Farm in Normandy and the Return to the Farm

“A Farm in Normandy and the Return to the Farm” contains two books written by Mrs Robert Henrey, each of which recounts her personal experiences living in France during the early twentieth century. They primarily deal with the purchase of her Normandy farm and her Family's relocation during WWII, as well as her mother's return to the farm following the end of the war. Henry's vivid depiction of rural life, local people, and the traumatic effects of the war are masterful, and make this book a must-read for those with an interest in this period of history. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

The idea of non-violence (passive-resistance) has always seemed beautiful but too good to be true. As a practical proposition it arouses scepticism and ridicule. But Mr Gregg is strangely convincing. He marshals the whole weight of contemporary knowledge,and uses the experience of Gandhi,who has employed non-violence methods on a wider scale and with greater success than any other figure in history. Non-violent resistance is the doctrine of absolute pacificism. In theory, it recognizes no use of violence as legitimate in practice it includes all human relations,national and social as well as individual. Contents Include Modern Examples of Non-Violent Resistance Moral Jiu-Jitsu What Happens Utilising Emotional Energy How is Mass Non-Violent Resistance An Effective Substitute for War The Class Struggle and Non-Violent Resistance Non-Violence and the State Further Political Aspects Biological Considerations Doubts and Queries Preperation for Non-Violence Further Understanding Self Discipline Group Training and Discipline Notes by Chapters
