Synopsis
A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. In this appealing and luminous collection of essays, Roland Barthes examines the mundane and exposes hidden texts, causing the reader to look afresh at the famous landmark and symbol of Paris, and also at the Tour de France, the visit to Paris of Billy Graham, the flooding of the Seine--and other shared events and aspects of everyday experience.

Review
"In the long title essay of this book of varied reflections and observations, Roland Barthes writes lovingly about one of the world's most celebrated structures: 'Just as there is no Parisian glance which is not compelled to encounter it, there is no fantasy which fails, sooner or later, to acknowledge its form and to be nourished by it.'. . . The essay stays at this splendid level throughout, extraordinarily fresh, full of exact revelation. All of Barthes' sometimes scattered virtues come together in it: his learning, his prowess as an observer, his lyric gift."--Richard Gilman, "The New York Times Book Review
