In the eighteenth century, Laurence Sterne explores the temptations
of the French capital in a teasing study of foreign mores and
Restif de la Bretonne provides an eye-witness account of the
Revolution. From the 1800s, Hugo, Balzac, Flaubert, and Zola offer
fascinating portraits of the city's teeming humanity; the Goncourt
brothers chronicle the explosion of artistic talent; Huysmans
describes an evening at the Folies Bergere. Colette chronicles the
pitfalls for a young girl in the decadent city of the early
twentieth century; F. Scott Fitzgerald revels in the city's
glamour; Jean Rhys's lost heroines wander from cafe to cafe; James
Baldwin celebrates its sexual freedoms; and Raymond Queneau
gleefully reinvents the language of the street. In our time, Michel
Tournier's North African immigrant walks a camel along the
boulevards, while Nobel Laureate Patrick Modiano brilliantly maps
the city's many arrondissements. The alluring power of Paris has
never dimmed and it is richly captured in all its facets in these
compelling and seductive tales.
