Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of keen, sometimes humorous, often provocative, always perceptive portraits of the leading figures of Parisian life in the 1880s. The author was a member of this glittering social and artistic world, as is apparent from his easy intimacy with the subjects depicted. The tone is engaging and anecdotal, the prose sparkling and full of vivid descriptions, and he writes with a deep knowledge of his era, its tastes, fashions, and foibles. Parading through the pages are playwrights, poets, painters, politicians, actresses, and the demi-monde. These include Zola, Manet, Sarah Bernhardt, Victor Hugo, and many others. This delightful and informative book provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of fin-de-sià cle Paris, as seen through the eyes of a discerning and gifted observer.
