From Voltaire to Verlaine and from Hugo to Hemingway, these are the
Paris locations that have influenced modern literature. The book is
an elegant photographic stroll around the bookshops, famous
literary restaurants and storied streets of Europe’s favourite
tourist destination. Literary Landscapes: Paris takes this major
European city and with picture perfect photography, compiles an
album of memorable views linked to the words of Parisian authors,
or writers who made Paris their home. It looks at places where
books were written, discussed over dinner, and where ultimately the
books are sold. There are the theatres of Molière, Dumas and
Beaumarchais along with the incredible Palais Garnier opera house
and the legend of Le Fantome by Gaston Leroux. There are the
revered bookshops of the Latin Quarter including the idiosyncratic
Shakespeare & Co. There are the classic grand structures
referenced in Victor Hugo novels (and still there) or the mean
streets of George Orwell’s Down and Out in Paris. There are the
famous cafes where authors gathered and wrote, or where artists and
philosophers argued: Les Deux Magots, Café de Flore, Le Procope,
La Closerie des Lilas, Prunier, Le Dôme, La Rotonde and Le Select.
There are the bouquinistes ranged in their green booths along the
Seine, as once tended by Jean Genet. And there is the classic
expatriate Paris of Joyce, Stein, Wilde, Hemingway, F. Scott
Fitzgerald and the Beat poets. Literary Landscapes: Paris takes
readers on an exclusive cultural journey, introduced by one of the
city’s most engaging tourist guides.
