Excerpt from Madame Ridnieff: Traduit du Russe
Un mouvement se produisit dans le traîneau; la personne qui s'y trouvait était une femme. Elle descendit, laissant voir, à la clarté blafarde de la lanterne de voyage, une courte pelisse en mauvais état et de tout petits pieds chaussés de bottines avachies. Un châle étroit était enroulé autour de sa tête; le vent la décoiffa. Maintenant que le trai neau était arrêté, on entendait plus distinctement siffler la bise dans la rue déserte. Le cheval bais sait la tête.
Un peu plus vite, n'est - cc pas? Dit le cocher Tous les autres sont déjà rentrés; il est temps que je rentre aussi; j'ai été sur pied toute la nuit.
Celle à qui il s'adressait s'efforce de sortir du traîneau son sac de voyage. Ses mains, transies sous les gants qui les couvraient, lui refusèrent leur service.
Je ne puis pas en venir à bout, répondit - elle; aidez - moi un peu. Descendez et mettez - moi mon sac là, sur le perron.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed examination of the ways in which we regard and treat children during their formative years, tracing the evolution of the concept of childhood in the Western world desde the Enlightenment through the present. Drawing on historical and cultural sources ranging from literature to art, law, economics, and religion, the author argues that the modern conception of childhood as a distinct stage of life is a relatively recent phenomenon that has its roots in the social and economic changes of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Throughout the book, the author explores conceptions of what children are, their essential nature, their needs, and their rights, and charts the influence these conceptions have had on social policy. The author illustrates the dramatic impact of intellectual and social trends in the West upon the lives of children and upon the concepts of childhood, and shows how contemporary ideas about education and child development set the stage for the future.
