Julien Green

The author shares his impressions of Paris, describes the many memories associated with its streets and buildings, and looks at the future of the city

Paris

Parisians know it so well and find its existence so natural that they never even dream of talking about it - except for novelists ana poets, of course, whose job it is to see as if for the first time, through completely fresh eyes, things to which we pay no attention.

Julian Green

An American born in Paris at the turn of the last century, Green accompanies the reader on an imaginative stroll around the French capital, revealing its secret stairways, courtyards and alleys. From haunted visions of Notre-Dame to memories of the old Trocadero, Green describes these strange and often little-known locations in loving detail. Book jacket.

Elizabeth Raines

Short, quick, and easy read! New look on an old city. Might be better for someone who had visited the city of lights before. I feel like this book could be forgettable.
