Greetings, snuggles!

These are the only titles I have been able to find for Nicole Reynaud:

She appears to be a writer whose knowledge and writings deal with art.
Are you sure that she is the author of the piece you are seeking?

I have found an essay entitled "What Is A Nation?" by another French
Author, with a similar last name. I could only find English
translations of the piece available in books either through purchase
or to be checked out from a library. I could provide you with a
machine translation of the piece. (It is not quite as good as a human
translation, which I could provide you, but which would likely take
several hours and be expensive.)

Would you consider a link to a machine translation of this piece an
acceptable Answer for your $2.00 fee?

Regards,

Yes, I would accept the machine translation - and thanks for all your
work - this is a terrific service.

Hi, snuggles!

I believe that the essay you are seeking is from a very famous lecture
by Ernst Renan, "What Is A Nation?", which he gave at a conference at
the famous Parisian University "La Sorbonne" on March 11, 1882.

A version translated by Google's Machine Translator can be seen here:

Note that this page contains only the Introduction, and there are
links to Parts 1, 2, and 3 at the bottom of the page.

The French version "Qu'est-ce qu'une nation?", from which the above
was translated is located here:

An additional, slightly different translation can be obtained from the
WorldLingo Machine Translator by inputting the URL for each page and
selecting "Source language: French" and "target language: English" at:

Note that the longer pages are not completely translated, and you will
need to input the additional French paragraphs in the text box of the
WorldLingo Translator.


I hope that this Answer provides exactly the information that you
needed!
