[edit] Circumstances of death

  • Could someone confirm the tennis ball story. Seems odd to me. Hektor 01:47, 30 September 2005 (UTC)\
    • it's true. he died playing tennis.--ponyboy 04:59, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Sorry to come back to that, but the circumstances of his death are described in different ways in the French and English wikipedias. This version talks about a heart attack, the French version describes a fall and shock at the head. Which one is right ? Hektor 11:31, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Overview of his analysis

  • the overview of his analysis also seems a little lacking. i've read furet, and i'll try to look into the french article and flesh this one out more, but i'm certainly not an expert. anyone studied furet more closely? also, need to add more on his break from Les Annales (for which there is apparently no page on the english wikipedia) --ponyboy 05:38, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
    • actually there is a page on Les Annales, it's under Annales School--ponyboy 14:27, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

  • Is there a photo of M. Francois Furet that could be inserted into the article? Also is there a photo of his wife, Debroah? for it was she who made the English translation of his book "The passing of an illusion" (1999). Tonyob 11:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
