Elaine Sciolino, the former Paris bureau chief of The New York
Times, invites us on a tour of her favourite Parisian street. "I
can never be sad on the rue des Martyrs", Sciolino explains as she
celebrates the area's rich history and vibrant lives. While many
cities suffer from the levelling effects of globalisation, the rue
des Martyrs maintains its distinct allure. Sciolino reveals the
charms and idiosyncrasies of this street and its residents-the
Tunisian greengrocer, the husband-and-wife cheesemongers, the
showman who's been running a transvestite cabaret for more than
half a century, the owner of a 100-year-old bookstore, the woman
who repairs eighteenth-century mercury barometers-making Paris come
alive in all its majesty. The Only Street in Paris will make
readers hungry for Paris and for the kind of street life that is
all too quickly disappearing.
