Krátky popis
Paris: city of love, food and fashion. Paris: the city that played
host to major historical and cultural dramas. Paris: a modern
metropolis.Paris is all of these, all at once, all the time. There
is a unique fusion of past and present in this purposefully grand
and well-planned city. The Triumphal Way, which runs straight from
the Louvre through the Tuileries Gardens, across the Place de la
Concorde - where the guillotine once stood - through the Arc de
Triomphe towards the Arche de la Defense and into the modern
business district is just one example of the many eras that remain
present.Famously a city for walkers, Paris has echoes of its
history at every turn. Wandering through Montmartre, you will
discover the birthplace of the energetic cancan at the Moulin
Rouge, stroll around Montparnasse and see the haunts of American
writer Ernest Hemingway, observe the striking new Opera de la
Bastille, which stands in the same place as the notorious prison.
To walk in Paris is to walk in history.Cecil Jenkins recounts the
often turbulent history with due attention to social conditions and
cultural development as well as to the political events that shaped
the city. It is the colourful story of a city emerging to modernity
through repeated conflicts, both internal and regional: a struggle
between piety and passion, prince and peasant, against competing
countries in Europe.
