Paris – Biography of a City

Paris – Biography of a City is Colin Jones’™ intelligently-written and entertaining new history which gives a sense of the city of Paris as it was lived in and experienced over time. The focal point of generation upon generation of admirers and detractors, a source of attraction or repulsion even for those who have never been there, Paris has witnessed more extraordinary events than any other major city. Almost no place on earth has been more walked around, written about, discussed, painted or photographed. With an eye for the revealing, startling and (sometimes) horrible detail, Colin Jones takes the reader from Roman Paris to the present, recreating the ups and downs in the history of the city and its inhabitants. Attentive to both the urban environment and to the experience of those who lived within it the book will be hugely enjoyed by habitual Paris obsessives, by first-time visitors, and by those who know the city only by repute.
