Description
Paris has long been a city of contradictions - a place of radiant light and dark shadow. Over two thousand years, it has drawn individuals with high ideals and low morals to its streets.
The lives of those who have shaped Paris are woven into the fabric of the city itself. From 19th-century flaneurs strolling Haussman's new boulevards, to survivors and victims of devastating plagues, each person has left an indelible mark on this ever-changing metropolis.
This book brings together the stories of those whose lives have imprinted themselves on Paris - a city that continues to evoke strong emotions in all who experience it.
