PARIS: BIOGRAPHY OF A CITY2004

"Attentive to both the urban environment and the experience of those who have lived within it, Paris: Biography of a City is the most comprehensive historical account we have of the past life of this great city. Filled with curious byways and corners, it will be enjoyed by not only lovers of history but also by habitual Paris obsessives, by first time visitors and even by those who know the city only by distant repute."
