Description

Paris is a lyrical love letter to the city, taking the reader on an imaginative journey through its secret places. Written by Julian Green, who spent most of his life in the French capital, this book is a meditation on getting lost and wasting time, and on what it truly means to know a city.

Green's vivid descriptions evoke the city's hidden corners, from deserted churches on hot summer days to chestnut trees lit up at night like 'Japanese lanterns'. His book is a treasure trove of unforgettable imagery, filled with memories of the city's past and present.

A truthful and unpretentious account of the city, Paris is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever felt the allure of this beautiful and complex place.
