Description
The Last Time I Saw Paris by Elliot Paul is a poignant portrait of an unforgettable city. In 1923, American journalist Elliot Paul first walked into rue de la Huchette and found Paris. His biography brings to life the street's inhabitants, from stately characters to those living on the margins, weaving their stories into a compelling tapestry.
The lives of these individuals are marked by culture, friendship, and way of life, but also by the growing threat of war and the intensifying polarisation between right and left. As the Second World War looms, it imbues their quiet, heroic lives with a tragic poignancy.
