On April 16, 2019, five days before the celebration of Easter, a
blazing fire engulfed the world famous Notre-Dame de Paris. A
marvel of Gothic architecture, construction on the Notre Dame
Cathedral was begun in 1160 and completed in 1345. For almost nine
centuries it has served as a house of worship and refuge; a
stalwart soldier that has survived wars and revolutions, and hosted
weddings, coronations, and funerals for kings and queens,
presidents, and political dignitaries. The cathedral has also
offered solace and sanctuary to tourists, locals, and one very
famous fictional hunchback. It's this rich mixture of social
history and human ingenuity that makes the Notre Dame, in the words
of one art scholar, "one of the great monuments to the best of
civilisation." Wounded but still standing, the world now watches as
France rebuilds. Notre Dame de Paris: A Celebration of the
Cathedral will detail the impressive architecture of the building,
the priceless artefacts it contains, and the major historical
events that have taken place in its presence. It will also show,
through film stills and artwork reproductions, the ways in which
the Notre Dame has permeated our popular culture. Coupled with
informative text for each image, Notre Dame is the definitive book
on the history of this landmark building.
