Synopsis:
Uses paintings, photographs, poems, and excerpts from the letters and writings of travelers to depict the unique qualities of Paris
Synopsis: From Bohemian Montmartre to the bookstalls along the quais, from the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame cathedral to the Seine by night and the street life on the great boulevards, the essential Paris is captured in this book in the words of writer-travellers from lyricists Oscar Hammerstein and Cole Porter to novelists including Charles Dickens, Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, Georges Simenon and Emile Zola. These excerpts are complemented by exquisite illustrations by such artists as Raoul Dufy, Renoir, Paul Signac and Brassai, the candid photographer of Paris nightlife.
