DESCRIPTION:Browse through the document selection\n\nThe Belle Époque las
 ted from the end of the 18th century to the First World War. Naming this p
 eriod “Beautiful Epoch”\, evokes the nostalgia of a light-hearted era\
 , where art and technological progress were flourishing. However\, it also
  was a turbulent time with major delinquency\, as the famous Dreyfus case\
 , that shook the French society. Transportation\, electricity\, cinema …
  the whole society was transforming. Investigation methods were evolving: 
 criminology finally took roots. Medicine and science also knew great break
 throughs. Poincaré\, Marie Curie\, or even Einstein: great names for a gr
 eat period of time\, that the Library gladly honors through this book sele
 ction.\n\nThis selection of documents is displayed in the Espace Découver
 te of the EPFL Library.\n\nDon't hesitate to borrow the documents!
